Stamp the world #18.008.I page 88 in the top left corner using black ink. Stamp a mask for the world and cut it out.

Stamp the key #21.048.E page 84 along the left hand side using black ink.

Punch each corner with the south-western corner punch. Mount to the center of the card.

Antiquing Technique

This is a method of burnishing paper with a metallic finish. It looks especially nice on renaissance images or old style designs.

Prepare card by folding 91/2” x 61/4” black cardstock in half. Set aside.

Stamp Stampendous image #XXW001 on white photocopy paper with black Memories ink. Let dry a minute or so.

Take your gold pigment ink pad, pick up plenty of ink with your finger then rub the ink all over the stamped image. Take your copper pigment ink pad, pick up plenty of ink with your finger then rub the ink over some parts for a slightly warmer look.

Tear very close to the stamped image. Stipple the torn edges with black Memories ink. Crumple the paper for a complete antique look. Flatten out with your hand and set aside.

Print a calendar from Red Castle. Adjust it to the size you want and print it out. Stipple around each month with gold, copper and black ink using a balled up piece of wax paper. Cut the months apart. Set aside.

Cut black cardstock 53/4” x 41/2”. Using wax paper, stipple with copper pigment ink. Glue the antiqued photocopy paper to the left side of the stippled copper piece. Set aside.

Cut black cardstock 17/8” x 23/8”. Using wax paper, stipple with copper pigment ink. Glue the month of December to the center of this piece. Mount on to gold cardstock and trim close. Position the remaining months on top of the December month. Hold in place with a paper clip. Glue a couple feathers behind this then mount to the bottom right corner, overlapping the antiqued piece a little. Staple calendar in place through all thicknesses.

Mount to center of the card.

Gols emboss the Magenta key #21.048.E page 84 on a piece of black cardstock. Cut out. Glue to the top left corner of the card.
