Measurements:
♥ Pretty Peacock Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″, 3-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ (for technique – I like to have extra cardstock cut to make several), scrap to cut one leaf
♥ Whisper White Cardstock: 3-3/4″ x 5″ (for inside), scrap to stamp/punch sentiment
♥ Foil Sheet: 3″ x 4″ (cut 3 leaves from center)
♥ Ribbon: 3 to 4 inches
Instructions for Technique:
1. Assemble two Acetate Card Box (fold at score lines to shape box). Close one end of boxes.
2. Box #1: At open end of box (with flap on the bottom) place two drops of Pretty Peacock Ink Refill on bottom panel of box across from each other, then two drops of Cajun Craze Ink Refill and one drop of Mint Macaroon Ink Refill.
3. Place 5 marbles in box then close end of box. With both ends closed roll marbles in box for just a few seconds to get ink on them.
4.Slide 3-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ cardstock in opening at top end of the box and slide to other end of box.
Note: you may have to assist at other end by holding end flap to allow cardstock to slide through opening.
Note: Cardstock should be sticking out both ends.
5. Turn box over and roll inked marbles onto cardstock. Stop when you like the consistency of the coverage.
6. Turn box over and remove cardstock.
Note: You can continue and create additional backsgrounds.
Note: At some point the colors will all blend together and you may want to start over.
Note: To clean open one end of the box and run water through to rinse box & marbles (water will drain out bottom/closed end of box). Dry box & marbles for reuse.
7. Box #2: At open end of box (with flap on the bottom) place two or three drops of Celestial Copper Ink Refill.
8. Place 3 marbles in box then close end of box. With both ends closed roll marbles in box for just a few seconds to get ink on them.
9.Slide 3-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ cardstock (with rolled marble design towards marbles) in opening at top end of the box and slide to other end of box.
10. Turn box over and roll inked marbles onto cardstock. Stop when you like the consistency of the coverage.
11. Turn box over and remove cardstock.
12. Let ink dry before cutting a 2-3/4″ section (from 6-3/4″ length) to assemble card.
Size needed for card: 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″)
Instructions for Assembling Card:
1. Fold 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ cardbase folded on score line.
Option: Texture folded card using Subtle 3D Embossing folder
2. Adhere back ground to Copper Foil, then adhere to card front.
3. Using fingers add dimension to ends of copper leaves (cut from center of copper foil), then adhere to card front.
4. Stamp sentiment on Whisper White scrap using Pretty Peacock Ink, then cut with Everyday Label Punch. Adhere to card front with Dimensionals.
5. Using fingers add dimension to ends of Pretty Peacock leaf, then attach to card front with Dimesional.
Optional Step: Before cutting leaf die from Pretty Peacock Cardstock place die onto Pretty Peacock Ink Pad, press slightly then remove and place on cardstock. Run through Die Cutting Machine. Ink will transfer to cardstock.
6. Tie knot in center of 1/4″ Copper Trim, then stretch ends to reshape trim. Attach to card front with Mini Glue Dot.

I LOVE this technique and it’s a much easier way to use it in the card boxes as opposed to the stamp cases we used to do it in. I especially love the metallic look. I can’t wait to try this. TFS
It is a fun technique! I agree it is easier to slide cardstock through the card box then to tape it to the lid of a stamp case. Have fun trying the technique Wanda!
