2) Place folded card on Silicone Craft Sheet or Grid Paper. Cover with striped Adorning Designs Decorative Mask. Hold mask in place with blue painter's tape or similar.

3) Use a Palette Knife to smooth Embossing Paste over masked card. Use a think layer and don't worry about making it perfect! Carefully remove mask while the paste is wet. Clean mask, tools, and Silicone Craft sheet with water before they dry. Set card aside to dry.

4) On scrap Basic White cardstock, stamp three of the larger leaf images with Cinamon Cider ink. Stamp one large and three small pine cones with Blushing Bride ink. Stamp two berry images and three pine branch images with Misty Moonlight ink. Stamp two smaller leaf images with Soft Succulent ink.

5) Die cut all images with coordinating dies.

TIPS: When using Embossing Paste, don't worry about perfection. Having varying depths and textures adds to the overall effect. Clean up tools right after using, as the paste dries quickly, and is much easier to clean off the masks and tools while wet. Clean masks and tools with tepid running water and mild liquid dish soap. A soft damp cloth can also be used, but be careful not to bend edges of detailed mask images.
