- Stamp the Ocean Waves background stamp on the card base using Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink.
- Trim a panel of white cardstock measuring 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". Stamp the two tulip images with Soft Granite Ink.
- Use a piercing tool to poke holes tracing the lines of the stamped images. This will create the guidelines for the stitching.

JOANN HACKS:
- Use a light color of ink, such as a light grey, to stamp the image you will be stitching.
- Stitching on paper can dull a needle, so make sure to have a separate needle for your paper crafting and fabric projects.
