- On a non-stick mat, apply a small amount of "Pool" Craft Ink and dilute with a spritz of water creating "watercolor"
- Using a paintbrush, sparingly apply the ink to the base of the card to create the watercolor effect; let dry

- Once dry, stamp the sentiment with ColorBox Archival Dye Ink in "Wicked Black"
- Round the top edges of the card with a corner rounder tool

- Using the same watercolor technique, in both Mango Tango and Pool-color the flowers with the ink until fully covered...dry with a heat tool then assemble
- Stamp the butterflies in "Pool" Craft Ink and die-cut once dry
- Stitch the middle of the butterfly leaving the thread trails for added dimension once adhered
- Stamp the "frame" in "Wicked Black" Archival Dye Ink and fussy cut out
- Hand cut a tag out of watercolor paper and adhere so that top portion of tag is showing from under stenciled paper
- Cut a strip of paper 1/2" to create flag banner-adhere where the top stenciled portion ends-stitch for dimension and additional adhesion
