4. Use the paint brush to apply an even layer of the powder blue acrylic paint onto the Jablo’s stamp. Be careful not to apply too much or too little paint to the stamp, as you will end up with an uneven effect. Transfer the image onto the sand-colored cardstock and then carefully lift the stamp. Allow to dry thoroughly.
5. Cut out the stamped flower.
6. Glue a piece of the colored doily to the bottom left corner of the card and cut off any protruding edges.
7. Add a strip of lace tape to the bottom of the card. Glue the belt ribbon in place just below the lace tape and cut off any protruding edges.
