Directions:

1. Apply five drops of Butterscotch Alcohol Ink forming a circle on a felt pad. 
2. Draw a circle with Alcohol Blending Solution inside the ring of Butterscotch Alcohol Ink.
3. Finally, add a circle in the center of the "flower" with Espresso Alcohol Ink.
   Your felt pad should now look like this...



4. Pounce the inked felt pad on your glossy cardstock in a random fashion.  To avoid double inking stamp your flowers, either let the original image dry before continuing or stamp consecutive images away from the original until it has dried.
   Continue stamping until the entire area has been covered.



5. Cut a heart shape from a second felt pad and stick it to the Alcohol Blending  Tool.  This will be used as the sunflower leaf.
6. Apply Lettuce Alcohol Ink to the center of the heart, add Meadow Alcohol Ink to the edges of the heart.



7. Stamp the leaves where desired.
