1. Clean domino surface with baby wipe and allow to dry completely.

2. Dab domino on surface of pearlescent yellow inkpad (figure A). Be sure to cover the surface of the domino completely with ink. Use heat gun or blow dryer to dry the ink on the domino surface. Allow the domino to cool before proceeding to next step.

3. Dab the "bee" stamp on the copper inkpad and press the bee image onto the top corner of the domino. Next dab the pencil eraser on the copper inkpad, and randomly place circles on the domino. Use the heat gun or blow dryer to dry the ink. Allow the domino to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.

4. Next, dab the "believe" stamp on the graphite black inkpad and press the image onto the domino (figure B). Try to place the text at the bottom corner of the domino. Use the heat gun or blow dryer to dry the ink. Allow the domino to cool completely before proceeding to the next step. Tip: If at any step in the process you make a mistake or a smudge, just use the baby wipe to clean off the domino and start again.

5. Use the copper leafing pen to paint the edges (figure C) of the domino (multiple coats may be needed to achieve complete coverage. Allow the leafing to dry completely between coats. Tip: If you get leafing on the back of the domino where it isn’t wanted, just use a Q-tip and nail polish remover to take it off. If you get leafing on the front where it isn’t wanted, just use the q-tip to remove.

6. When the domino is completely dry, spray with workable fixative to seal your work. Allow the fixative to dry (according to directions).

7. Attach pin backing with multi-purpose cement.
