Re-ink the large, more solid carrot image on Block H with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Masking Paper piece. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the carrot image on the Masking Paper by hand.
