1. Using black archival ink, stamp two Hipster Birds onto white cardstock.
2. Watercolor one stamped image.
3. Once dry, align the corresponding Framelits dies over the stamped images, and die-cut. For ease of use, we recommend using the Magnetic Platform to hold the Framelits dies in place while the shapes are being cut. Adhere together the corresponding die-cut images. Set aside.
4. Cut one 4" x 4" pieces of white cardstock.
5. Tear out scraps of text from a vintage book, and adhere to the panel of cardstock with Mod Podge.
6. Randomly stencil Tracks on the panel with texture paste using a palette knife. Set aside to dry.
7. Stamp words from the Hipster set onto scraps of white cardstock. Cut out, and ink with Distress Ink (Walnut Stain was used in this example). Set aside.
8. Once the texture paste is dry, spritz the background of each panel with coordinating colors of Distress Spray Stain. (Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive and Faded Jeans were used in this example.) Use your finger and a baby wipe to move the ink around to create depth. Continue adding color until you are satisfied. Ink the edges with Distress Ink.

10. Ink the edges of each layered stamped image with Distress Ink. Adhere one image to each panel with adhesive foam tape.
