Instructions:

1.     Cut cardstock, designer paper, window sheet and watercolor paper to dimensions above

2.     Stamp Tv on watercolor paper using VersaMark ink and heat emboss with Black embossing powder. Die cut using the Tune In dies, including the inside of Tv. Stamp antenna on piece die cut from TV using VersaMark ink and heat emboss using black embossing powder. Die cut antenna using Tune In dies.

3.     Add Pretty in Pink ink to small acrylic block my gently pressing ink to block. Using the Water Painter squeeze one drop into the ink on block and mix. Water color bottom approximately 1 1/2” from bottom of TV, leaving feet white. Add 2-3 more drops to block and color the remainder of the TV. Color feet using the Pecan Pie watercolor pencil (assortment 1) and using Water painter, using water painter to smooth if desired. Set aside to dry.

4.     Score card base at 4 1/4”. Stamp starburst stamp with Smokey Slate ink stamping off once on both ¼” x 4 strips. Using sponge dauber sponge around the two white stamped strips, pink and gray dsp and white inside panel. Glue pink panels to top and bottom of card front leaving a border on top and bottom equal to side border (approximately 1/8”). Glue gray panel in center, Glue stamped strips between pink and gray panels as shown.

5.     Using StazOn ink stamp sentiment on window sheet. Immediately clean stamp with StazOn cleaner. I then stamp the stamp on scratch paper to remove most of the cleaner then clean my stamp with Stampin’ mist. Use Tear tape to adhere window sheet to back of tv. Trim around corners if window sheet shows in the front.

6.     Die cut starburst die twice each on pink and slate cardstock scraps. Adhere Foam adhesive strip around the center of the tv on the window sheet. I also add a second strip on the wider side of the tv near the other edge. Leave backing on top of foam strips and add die cut starburst to window sheet in the center. Remove the backing and add white cardstock that is the same size as the window sheet. Trim in front if necessary. Add antenna by adding a small piece of foam adhesive strip half on antenna and half on tv.  Remove backing. Add Tombo liquid glue to back of tv and add to card front.

7.     Stamp sentiment on inside panel using Momento Black ink. Stamp starburst stamp several times in both pink and slate around the sentiment. Glue to inside of card. Stamp starburst stamp on envelope making sure not to stamp where address goes or where to place the stamp if mailing. Your card is now ready to sign and give or mail out.
