Step by step

1. Spray teal ink onto card stock through a stencil and allow it to saturate. ▶ watch 23:00
2. Whilst the spray ink is still wet, apply pink ink to a sponge dauber. ▶ watch 23:15
3. Hold the stencil in place and sponge the pink ink through it to create a halo effect around the stencilled areas. ▶ watch 23:30
4. Apply additional colours such as yellow through the stencil using the same sponging technique. ▶ watch 23:45
5. Trim the card down to reveal the finished design, which will look more cohesive once the excess is removed. ▶ watch 24:15

Tips from the show

• Colours that don't normally go together can work beautifully once the card is trimmed down.
• Have confidence in your colour choices even if they seem unusual at first.
