Directly on the card base mask the edges with 1/2″ strips. Mask the top and bottom and side to side with 1/4″ strips. Lay the circle stencil over top and blend outward so that the color gets lighter toward the edges. Place the circle over the top of what was just blended. From the outer corners blend in toward the center so that the corners are darkest. Remove circle mask (but not Masking Magic strips) and stamp foliage and dragonfly in each quadrant after oxide ink is dry. Stamp sentiments and remove masking strips.
