Place it over the inked up gelli plate + press down lightly. Carefully remove cardstock.  -Repeat steps #1 and #2 again (you will have 2 colored background panels when finished).   Stenciling: Apply 49M ink onto gelli plate + spray over the ink with water. Place stencil over the ink. Place one of the previously inked-up card panels over the stencil, inked side facing down + rub firmly with hand. Remove the card panel.

To Finish: Trim one of the inked card panels to 5.25x4.  Rough up the edges of the panel with scissors. Using the scalloped edge die, trim the 2nd card panel to 3” at the length. Die cut along one of the long edges with the scalloped die. Adhere to other card panel in the upper left corner. Apply Clear pad randomly over the edges of the card panel. Add embossing powder + heat set. Apply Copper Stickles randomly to scalloped piece.  Adhere finished card panel to A2 white card base.
