Step 3:  Tape the Holiday Greetings stencil to Natural cardstock with removable tape, and use 1/4" stencil brushes to apply inks using the Picasso tool as a shield to keep colors clean and to add "veins" to some leaves

Step 4:  Remove the stencil, clean and dry it well, return the clean, dry stencil over the colored image

Step 5:  Paste emboss the image with Translucent Embossing Paste using a Palette Knife and Paste Spreader, remove stencil and place in water for cleaning, let paste dry
