Steps:

  1. Score the 8.2" x 5.4" pink cardstock to create a card sized 5.4" x 4.1".
  2. Draw a 5" x 3.6" pencil frame on the paper. Use the paintbrush and the watercolor set to color the paper inside the frame. Use the two blue and the purple paints from the paint set, allowing the colors to interflow. While the paint is still wet, put the pebbles on the painted area and allow to dry.
