HELPFUL HINTS

To create the techniques featured in this artwork, follow the helpful hints outlined below. Then use the pattern found on page 119 (Wishes: Gallery™) of our Wishes® how-to publication for inspiration.

• Sponge edges of some of the papers with Black ink, if desired.
• Embellish with paper accents and accessories as desired.
