Instructions:

1. Making the Mountains
2. Starting with the lightest Pink ink with sponge dauber, sponge on the bottom 2/3 of the Whisper White.  You do not need to cover ever bit of it and it does not need to be even.
3. Add the next pink color and do it the same way just sponge it on the bottom 2/3 and you don’t need to have it even or completely covered.
4. Add a bit of the Mango Melody toward the top of the Pinks.  Not a lot just some to make it look like sun shining.
5. Start with the lightest blue and with the sponge dauber sponge from the top down. You can go over a little of the Pink.  You want to get the darkest Blue at the top of the card.
6. Continue with all the blues except Night of Navy, in the same manner making sure that it is Darkest on the top.
7. Rip scrap paper to make mountains. NOTE this is going to be different. You are going to use the part that you ripped off not the mountains but what you ripped to make the mountains.
8. Place the Scrap Paper on the Pink Area – It is usually on top not the bottom to make the mountains.  Leave some pink, you may want to hold down your scrap paper with Washi Tape.  Ink up you Sponge Dauber with Night of Navy and start on the scrap and come down, Not  very far you do not want to go to the bottom.  Keep going across you may want to go in a straight line down as sometimes if you use the circle motion it rips the paper. 
9. You can either use the same paper or another piece but move down the card and repeat you can leave some pink in between.  Do the same thing don’t go all the way down but make sure you have an outline.
10. Repeat a Third or even a fourth time on the last one you can go al the way to the end of the Whisper White. 
11. You can always go back and put in another layer if you want.
