flat fold.
2) Place folded card on Silicone Craft Sheet or Grid Paper. Cover with
striped Adorning Designs Decorative Mask. Hold mask in place with blue
painter's tape or similar.

water before they dry. Set card aside to dry.

TIPS: When using Embossing Paste, don't worry about perfection.
Having varying depths and textures adds to the overall effect. Clean up tools
right after using, as the paste dries quickly, and is much easier to clean off
the masks and tools while wet. Clean masks and tools with tepid running water
and mild liquid dish soap. A soft damp cloth can also be used, but be careful
not to bend edges of detailed mask images.
