<p>Supplies:</p>
<ul>
<li>White cardstock (or any heavy white paper like Bristol or <a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgz" target="_blank">hot press watercolor paper</a>.)</li>
<li><a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgo" target="_blank">Dye based ink</a> (I like the cube ink sets)</li>
<li><a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgp" target="_blank">White Pigment ink </a>(or you could use white watercolor or gouache)</li>
<li>Stamps: <a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkh3" target="_blank">Dream Catcher</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgv" target="_blank">Country Roads 2</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgu" target="_blank">Hello Friend</a></li>
<li>Cosmetic sponge or <a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgy" target="_blank">ink dauber</a></li>
<li>Watercolor brush</li>
<li><a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgx" target="_blank">Stencils</a></li>
<li><a href="http://shrsl.com/?gkgs" target="_blank">Colored cardstock</a> or premade card bases</li>
<li>Craft mat or other non-porous surface (like a plastic placemat) to work on</li>
</ul>
<p>Directions:<br />
1. Apply ink to cardstock directly with an inkpad. Apply ink to a craft mat, spray with water and soak up the ink with the cardstock. Flick watered-down ink on the card. Repeat until you like the way it looks and let dry.</p>
<p>2. If desired stencil a design on top with ink.</p>
<p>3. Stamp silhouette images over background panels using black ink. Ink edges of panel in black and adhere to card base.</p>
<p>The cards I made were 4 1/4&#8243;x 5 1/2&#8243; (A2) and the small panels were 2 1/2&#8243;x3 1/2&#8243; (atc size) and the farm panel was 4&#8243;x5 1/4&#8243;</p>
