Mountain, Valley, Mountain
6. Bone Fold 10” piece Valley,

7. Apply ink to left side/edge of 10”
strip if necessary
The Noble Peacock papers used here have a white core so better to ink up with some Noble Peacock ink – I just placed the edge onto the ink pad… and used a tissue to wipe away any excess ink ( as these papers are foiled so the ink will not sink into any foiled parts!

Thank you and enjoy it Ali...
Deletethough a funny story from classes! I hold the card box in my right hand and open it with my left hand (so the sticking it with lid to left in pt 15 is right for me) but 2 out of 8 ladies in classes so far hold a box in their left hand and open from right... so they stuck it in the other way round! All of us are right handed.... but those 2 folded their arms the other way round to me....
