For added emphasis, Vicki outlined
the finished frame using a 1.0 black
pen. Try this technique yourself by
following the steps at right.
step two
Select a large
background stamp.
Ink the stamp using
the same colour of
ink used to sponge in
step one. Stamp the
design over the entire
exposed area.
step three
Using a shadow
marker (such as
Copic), draw the
marker around the
inside and outside
die cut edge of the
ornate frame. Remove
the negative pieces
and trim the piece to
fit your card.
