To recreate the Peaceful Boughs card you will need:

Thick Whisper White – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left and lower right corner

I began by pressing my open Pear Pizzazz ink pad onto a clear block, added a drop of glycerine, mixed the ink and the glycerine together with the sponge and sponged it onto the Whisper White panel. The glycerine helps the ink to spread and blend without becoming streaky.
