Instructions:

Two examples are shown, demonstrating how to get similar but different effects with the Grid and AZ 3030 stamps.

1. Ink CN034 (or small flower) and stamp in the center of the Grid (first example) or AZ 3030 (second example).

   

2. Stamp the Grid or AZ 3030 on to white glossy paper.

3. Ink the 173 Thistle (or similar large flower) and stamp direct to paper slightly off center from the Grid or AZ 3030 image.

4. Ink and stamp “Summer’ as shown.

5. Align and apply the lens.

6. Edge with a gold metallic marker and layer with the card stock.

7. With the grid option, align the lens to see a darker square in the center to get the effect shown in the example.

8. Use the technique with other ‘small /large’ image combinations.
