Instructions
Step 1
Using your Ultimate
Crafter’s Companion, score
your USL card blank along
the “Half–Fold US letter”
line portrait
Step 2
Again, score along the
“Half-Fold US letter” line
landscape. Use this line
as a cutting guide to trim
your card to a finished size
of 5.5 x 11 (folds to 5 1/2
inch square).
Step 3
Then cut another piece
of white card to 5 inches
square.

Step 4
On the piece of paper,
stamp the mouse images
onto the bottom half. Using
Stazon and a Rock-A-Block.
Then, cut a 5.5 x 5.5
square out of the remaining piece of paper.
Step 11
Ink up the brayer.
Step 5
Cut them out. These are
your ‘masks’.
Step 6
Stamp the 3 mice again,
onto the 5 inch square
card near the bottom,
again using a Rock-A-Block
and Stazon.
Step 7
Spray the back of your
masks with Stick & spray,
temporary adhesive and
attach over the top of the
matching image on the 5
inch square card.
Step 8
Using the fence stamp,
stamp over the top of
the mask onto the 5 inch
square card.
Step 12
Scrunching up a piece of
scrap copy paper, roll the
brayer across the paper to
take of the excess ink and
add a texture to the ink.
Step 13
Roll onto your 5.5 x 5.5
square piece of paper,
turning the paper and
brayer more color to fill the
square.
Step 14
This leaves you a softly
textured and colored piece
of backing paper.
Step 9
Remove the mask to reveal
the scene.
Step 10
Color the scene with watercolor pencils.

Step 15
Add the main picture onto
the backing paper and
leaving a slight border, cut
the edges of the backing
paper with deckle scissors.
Step 16
Back to the Ultimate Crafters Companion board, use
the bow maker and make a
matching bow.
Step 17
With the sentiment,
stamped twice across the
card, attach the bow, using
glue gel.
You’re all finished!
