Steps:

1. Start with a canvas scrapbook cover. Apply lighter shades of permanent crafting inks with a light sweeping motion, then heat set (figure A).

3. Using your dark shades of inks, randomly stamp all over your cover. Be sure to go off the edges when stamping, to create a continuous pattern (figure B).

4. Heat set your inks and apply a coat of sealer. Remember to spray in a well-ventilated area.

6. Apply a ribbon trim with adhesive and allow to dry (figure C).
