Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Night Of Navy Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 2", 3-1/8", 5-3/8", and 6-1/2"
- 2" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" of watercolor wash dark blue design from Sun Prints 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 5-1/4" of tiny blue raindrops on white background design from Sun Prints 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the raindrops are vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 3" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 4" from Gray Granite Cardstock
Fold the Night Of Navy card so the two outer score lines are valley folds and the two inner score lines are mountain folds. Use a Bone Folder to get sharp creases.
As you are ready to stamp using the Whale Done Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
