   over the appropriate areas. In this case, the cats were brown and tan and gold, the grass/ground was a combination of greens, reds and brown. Gently tap the bottom of the image to help with the distribution of the embossing powder. Heat to emboss the image.

Stamp the dragonfly image diagonally across the aluminum tooling using black brilliance ink. Gently trace only the outline of the image one time to give the impression. Flip the metal over; using cotton swabs, apply Jade Green, Victorian Purple, and Mediterranean Blue ink to the inside portion of the design. Heat set with heat tool between applications of each color. Flip metal over and emboss entire design with stylus as usual. Flip over again and run stylus around edges to make design stand out more. Fill the back of the design with Diamond glaze to make impression solid. Once dry, use ruler to gently mark off ¼ border on backside. Use wooden stylus to make score and fold over edges. Use sponge daubers to apply Pearlescent Purple, Pearlescent Sky Blue, and Pearlescent Lime to outer area around dragonfly image. Heat set with heat tool. Apply a layer of Diamond Glaze and embellish with micro clear beads.

Use double sided adhesive to adhere metal piece to dark blue cardstock which was trimmed with deckle scissors and edged with silver metallic pen. Layer this off center with fibers on lavender, cream and background cardstock.

• Sponge or Stipple brush; Adhesive Tape or Glue
  Instructions: On a white 5 by 7 glossy cardstock design a grid to fit the stamps. I selected a standard nine-section format with two long horizontal grids on each end of the large center square that will hold the main clock image. Beginning with the darkest shade (Victorian Violet) stipple or sponge color out from the edges of the grids, masking the opposite areas to protect the grid pattern.

Then apply the purple and blue in the same manner. Burnish the glossy card with a paper towel or Kleenex to blend the colors. Heat set to dry.

Ink the stamps with Dick Bantock Damson Plum and stamp as shown. Begin at the top so that you don’t smear subsequent images, leaving the square clock stamp and the blue Palmate ornament to do last. The cable ornament images were stamped end to end in the long horizontal sections. The bottom left-hand image is the top portion of the Greek clock stamp. Heat set to dry.

Ink the Palmate ornament with pearlescent blue ink and stamp on a scrap of paper before you stamp randomly on the card. Do the same with the Magenta clock image. Heat set. Using a stipple brush and Brilliance gold ink, add gold to the center of the clocks and to the door openings of the left-hand ancient windows image.

Mount the completed grid card onto a slightly larger wine colored card and then a purple card leaving a quarter inch border and then adhere to a wine card, leaving a narrow border.
