2)   After the ink has sufficiently spread, iron the image with a craft iron set to high.  Spritz with additional water as needed.
3)   Fold the kraft colored paper in half and cut to A6 size card.
4)   Tear around the Prospector image and edge in the Walnut Stain ink.
5)   Cut a piece of coco cardstock to matt the image on and attach using two copper eyelets.
6)   Layer onto the kraft card.
7)   Cut a slit into the fold of the card and wind a length of the natural twine through several times, knot and then fray the ends as seen in the sample.

Note: This card makes a great masculine birthday card!
