Start by positioning the house plant stencil onto a piece of spare white card.
Use the orange ink pad to colour the plant pot using a blending tool and sponge pad.
Next, use the jade coloured ink to apply colour over all the leaves of the house plant stencil.
Allow to dry, and clean the stencil well.
Use the alphabet stamps with pale blue ink to stamp a ‘New Home’ caption onto some spare white card.
Allow it to dry.
Next, re-position the house plant stencil slightly offset to the inked areas. Use the S (small) black PITT artist pen to outline the stencil areas.
Re-position the stencil for each separate stencil shape, and leaf.
Cut out the plant design leaving a thin white border around the edge of your plant.
Then, trim the caption words into neat banners.
Hand draw a black border onto the front of the card blank.
Add foam pads to the reverse of the plant design and caption banners.
