Note: There are seven ninjas included in the Ninja Squad Stamp and Die Set, so I decided that their hood ribbons should be in ROYGBIV order. 

Instructions:

1. Use Obsidian Amalgam Ink by Gina K Designs to stamp all seven ninjas from the Ninja Squad Clear Stamp Set onto white cardstock.. 
2. Color their faces, eyes, and hood ribbons with Copic markers.
3. Use the Black Pigma BB Marker to color their ninja uniforms. I tried to use N Copics, but they got a bit streakier than I liked.
4. Die-cut all the ninjas using the Ninja Squad Die Set. Set them aside. They'll be happy to get some exercise and practice done.
5. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 6.75" x 4.75" for the background panel.
6. Place the cardstock panel onto the STAY-tion.
7. Add tickmarks .625" in from both sides.
8. Add low-tack tape along the tickmarks to cover both sides.
9. Place the first of the Three-layer Comic Book Burst Stencil over the background panel and secure it with a magnet in the center and low-tack tape along the top and bottom edges..
10. Brush or sponge Pebble Ink over the stencil.
11. Place the second Three-layer Comic Book Burst Stencil over the panel and secure in the center with the magnet and low-tack tape along the bottom and top edges.
12. Brush or sponge Hoodie Ink over the stencil.
13. Place the burst stencil from the Three-layer Comic Book Burst Stencil over the panel and secure with magnets and tape.
14. Sponge or brush Black Jack Ink over the stencil.
15. Move the tape covering the sides of the background panel so that they're covering the inside of the panel and revealing both sides.
16. Sponge Pebble Ink over both sides of the background panel.
17. Place the Halftone Stencil over the background panel and randomly sponge Pebble Ink over the entire background panel.
18. Move the Halftone Stencil  to cover the left side of the background panel. Sponge Pebble Ink over the border area.
19. Move the Halftone Stencil  to the right side and sponge Pebble Ink over the right border area.
20. Center the Halftone Stencil  and randomly sponge Hoodie and Black Jack Ink over the background.
21. Edge the background panel with with Black Jack Ink.
22. Place the background panel onto a stamping platform and secure with magnets.
23. Place the "Go for it" and "Have an action packed birthday" sentiments from the Ninja Squad Stamp and Die Set facedown on the top left and bottom right of the image panel.
24. Ink the stamps with Nocturne VersaMark Clair ink and stamp the sentiments. 
25. Remove the background panel from the stamping platform and heat set the sentiments.
26. Adhere all seven colored and die-cut Ninjas as shown.
27. Create a 7" x 5" card from white cardstock.
28. Sponge Black Jack Ink around the outer .5" of the card.
29. Adhere the card front panel to the card.
