inking them w/Amuse inks. I then removed the Dazzles and cut the sponged

cardstock in strips of 3 colors each. I then placed it on pink cardstock

and bordered it with Paper Wishes Dazzles.

I die cut the Fancy Lace die and glued it to white cardstock. I used colored

pencils and blending pens to color it in.
