Stamping Platform

Instructions:

1. Create an A2 card from Raven cardstock. Set aside.
2. Cut a panel of white cardstock to 4" x 5.25" and place onto the STAY-tion.
3. Place the flattest mask from the Hills Acetate Mask Set horizontally across the image panel and secure it to the cardstock and the STAY-tion with magnets.
4. Sponge or brush Sundance Elements Ink over the top of the mask onto the image panel. 
5. Working upwards from the yellow inked area, brush or sponge Confetti, Della Blue, Blue Lagoon, and Dark Denim Elements Inks horizontally onto the image panel overlapping the previous color and blending the inks to create a sunset sky. 
6. Use one of the misters from the Fine Spray Misters to mist the inked panel with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. The alcohol will blend the colors slightly, add white specks, and visual interest. 
7. Remove the mask from the Hills Acetate Mask Set from the image panel, trace it onto scrap cardstock, and fussy-cut the cardstock along the trace lines.
8.  Place the top part of the traced cardstock to cover the yellow part of the sky. Secure with magnets.

15. Press the platform's lid onto the back of all three stamps and lift.
16. Ink all three stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if necessary to attain good impressions.
