Instructions:

1. Randomly apply small dots of Cloudy, Pool, Globe Thistle, and Lilac Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints onto a 5 x 7 Gel Press. 
2. Use wide brayer to spread and blend the paint on the Gel Press.
3. Smooth heavyweight mixed media paper onto the Gel Press and pull a print. Repeat this process until you have the coverage and color blend you want.
4. Cut the painted mixed media paper and black cardstock with the Oval Frame A2 card die. You will end up with an A2 card front, a matting oval, and the center oval.
5. Set aside the center oval and the black oval frame.
6. Brush white hybrid ink over the Dote on Diamonds Stencil #119  onto the painted card front and heat set.
7. Edge the card front with Black Soot Distress ink.
8. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the flowers from the Faerie Flora Cling Stamp set onto Neenah cardstock, fussy-cut the flowers, color with Copic markers, and edge with dark markers. 
9. Use magnets to secure the reserved painted oval onto the base of a stamping platform.
10. One by one, position the flower stamps face down onto the the painted oval, press the lid of the platform onto the stamp, lift the lid, ink the stamp with VersaFine ink, and stamp. 
11. Clean the stamp and repeat until you have three flowers stamped onto the painted oval. It's okay that the stamped images overlap as you will be securing their colored, fussy-cut images over them.
12. Heat set the oval.
13. Use the Black Stardust Glitter pen to go over the tendrils of the flowers.
14. Use the Rose Stardust Glitter pen to add a touch of glittery pink to the ends of the tendrils on the center flower.
15. Adhere the stamped, colored, and fussy-cut flowers to their counterparts on the oval. Trim the stems if they are overlapping the edge of the oval.
16. Use Black Soot Distress Ink to edge the oval.
17. Adhere the stenciled card front  to a black A2 card. 
18. Adhere the reserved black oval die-cut mat 
19. Adhere the flower bedecked oval die-cut in the center of the oval frame to finish the card.
