7.     Using Blending Brush, add a light layer of Pacific Point ink to 3 ¼” x 4” piece of Whisper White cardstock.

8.     Adhere this to front flap.

9.     Position where you want to stamp the otter - I put a pencil mark where I wanted the top of his head, so he wasn’t floating above the waves.

11. Color otter and water with Blends listed above.  

12. Stamp the other otter on scrap white cardstock, fussy cut, and color with Blends.
