Instructions

• Fold your gold cardstock in half to form your base card. It will open from the bottom.


• Punch out four photo corners in blue using Martha Stewarts Photo Corner Punch
  (I keep saying it but I LOVE this punch! I can have any paper photo corner I want and I never run out!).


• Using your craft mat and ink blending tool, edge the photo corners and 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" paper with brushed corduroy distress ink.
  
  
  


• Attach your photo corners to your paper and glue to your card base.


• Take your strip of paper (blue also) and punch the apron lace border design from Fiskars in it on the right side.
  
  
  


• Edge this in ink with your blending tool also.


• I used double stick tape to add my lace to the back of this strip. I left about ¼” of lace showing on the LEFT side.
  
  
  


• I glued the finished strip to the card after I had trimmed it to 5 1/4”.
  
  
  


• Take your pink ribbon and make the cancer ribbon design. Add a glue dot to hold it together.


• Use one of the trinket pins and attach to the ribbon only.
  
  
  


• Attach the ribbon to the card at the top of the blue strip with mounting tape.


• Punch a 3” scallop oval out of another selection of paper.
  I used a beige color.


• Using a krylon gold pen, edge the oval all around.


• Using your blending tool, add brushed corduroy ink to the oval also.


• Spray some water in your hands and toss the droplets onto the card.
  DAB (do not wipe) the water away to create blotches in the ink. (It gives it a really vintage look.)
  
  
  


• Add the word “faith” in lower case letters (micro mono basic grey).


• Add mounting tape to the back of the oval and attach to the right of the card.


• Add pearls on the oval and also on the waist of the dress form in the strip.
  
  
  


• Add one pearl in the center of the trinket pin flower.

Thank you for stopping by today. See you again soon!
