1. Tracing:

1. Trace all the boarders, the "beard" and the single dot of the tartan of the leprechaun in Tinta White*

2. Trace the exterior lines of the leprechaun in Tinta  Groen Green Ink (04T).

3. Trace the "snake" and horn in Gold ink.

4. Trace the "plaid and face in Sepia Ink

*(although there are many different inks available on the market I have yet to find any of the available "white" inks that
   compare to the Pergamano Tinta White Ink.  I suggest that you play around with many of the other colorful inks
   available on the market to use in your compositions.  This composition is one that can be expanded by the many
  different colors of available inks.  Color expansion in the "tartan" colors of this leprechaun is a good place to try some
  of these different and colorful inks!)
 

2. Embossing:

1. Using the small embossing tool emboss all areas of the composition.

2.  In boarder circles use a medium embossing tool to fill in and raise the "larger dots".
 

3. Painting:  (all painting on this composition is done on the front of the design)

1.  Use the Pinta -Perla yellow to paint snake and horn... being careful not to go into the bearded area of the design.

2. Use the Pinta-Perla BronzeGreen fill in the "outer" areas of the Leprechaun's garb.  Be careful "not" to paint the
     interior or "closed" in areas at this time.

3. Using the Pintura LightGreen fill in the "closed" in areas of the leprechaun's body. These parts would be such as   the outer arm, interior leg and knee area as well as neck and bottom areas. <see finished composition>.

Dorsing:

1.  Using the Ochre crayon, color in the face, hands and tartan of  the leprechaun.  blending outwardly for a soft hue
     to these areas.

2.  With the soft, light blues and pink dorsing colors enhance the exterior of the design blending both of these colors
     together.  I used the blue on the inner most part with the pink outwardly.

Perforations:

1.  Following grid use the 4 prong tool.  Cut away the "x's" in all designated areas.

2. using a single prong tool punch into the single "white"  dots of the tartan.

3. Use the  two prong tool to go along step by step along the exterior of the outer boarder.  Tear away excess paper.

4.  Fold on fold line and use your favorite "Irish" card stock for the finish!!!!
 

See you next month!!!
