Skill Level: Intermediate


Instructions:
Scrapbook Layout

1. Trim a piece of ivory cardstock to 11”x11” and then cut it into various sized pieces as shown on the layout. 2. Stamp each one with different stamps in VersaMark and emboss with white embossing powder.

3. Once dry, mist with water and then using a wet paintbrush apply various co-ordinating ink colours direct from the inkpad to cover the cardstock. Edge the cardstock with the same colour ink. Dry between two towels and then attach to a 12”x12” piece of hot pink cardstock using double sided tape.

4. Before attaching three pieces, wrap and tie some ribbon around them. Sew around all the edges using a zigzag stitch and co-ordinating cotton colour. 5. Mount the photo onto mauve and then hot pink cardstock, attach to layout. Finally attach some paper flowers using brads.

Card

1. Cut a 12”x6” piece of hot pink cardstock and score and fold in half. Cut a 5.5” square piece of ivory cardstock and trim it into four various sized pieces as shown on the front of the card. 2. Stamp each one with different stamps in VersaMark and emboss with white embossing powder. Once dry, mist with water and then using a wet paintbrush apply ink direct from the inkpad to cover the cardstock. 3. Edge the cardstock with the same colour ink. Dry between two towels and then attach to the front of the card using doublesided tape. Sew around all the edges using a zigzag stitch and co-ordinating cotton colour. 4. Stamp a greeting and another flower onto another piece of ivory cardstock with VersaMark and white emboss. Watercolour this in the same way, once dry, mount to some hot pink cardstock, wrap some ribbon around the base and then adhere to the front of the card. 5. Use three small paper flowers and co-ordinating brads and attach to the card also. Line the inside of the card to cover the sewing.
