4. Attach the ribbon to the card front about 1" from the left edge with the glue.
5. Print out the harvest themed graphics on the cream card stock and trim out neatly in a 3" square.
6. Lay the wax paper on a protected surface and drop the butterscotch ink onto it in random spots allowing it to flow and dry.



7. Repeat with the raisin and cranberry inks, allowing the inks to blend where they touch. 



8. Once all the inks have dried, using a piece of tissue paper, add some blending solution to the inks and smudge around, blending the colors.



9. After the paper has dried, crumple it up into a ball and smooth out. 



10. Using the gold mixative and tissue paper, rub across the inked paper catching the wrinkled areas.
