2nd step
-Place your brass pieces on the top of your rounds by making a small shift. Cut the rounds with a blade following the straight line of the metal pieces. Pierce the semicirculars with a needle.

Step 3
Start by pouring 2 drops of ink on each round, taking the lightest ink. Tap the surface with a paper towel, you can do it several times.

Step 4
Continue in the same way with a slightly darker ink.

Step 5
