  2. Adhere a subtle patterned paper directly below, followed by a decorative edge created using cardstock and a border punch. Add a machine stitching detail if desired.
  3. Adhere photo to the left hand edge of the page.
  4. Stamp the cloud image onto a white notecard using Soft Pool Shadow Ink combined with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. Cut a large circle shape from the design, and adhere to the page as shown, overlapping both the photo and floral background.
  5. Adhere a strip of a striped patterned paper along the top edge of the photo, crossing through the cloud design to the other end of the page.
  6. Cut flowers from white and kraft colored cardstock using various sized punches. Adhere a navy scalloped circle to the center of each, and top with a metal rimmed tag. Adhere flowers to page as shown.
  7. Using the remaining scrap piece from the cloud design, cut out 3 circles using a 1 1/8" punch. Stamp a flower image in the center of each using navy ink. Adhere circles to the metal rimmed tags and embellsih with accent pearls.
