Materials:   Rubber Stamps: Turtle Press (alphabets) Rubber Soul (sunflower w/ stem) Stampin' Up (sunflower w/o stem) Stamper's Anonymous (art text & script)

Instructions: Cut one piece of blue 12x12 cardstock in half, then adhere this along the right-hand side of a piece of white 12x12 cardstock.   Cut a 1/2 inch border of burgundy cardstock, stamp the script across it using black VersaFine ink, then adhere along seam.   Stamp the text onto the tags using black VersaFine ink, sprinkle with clear embossing powder, and heat.   Stamp the flowers onto scraps of white cardstock using black VersaFine ink, cut and/or tear to size as shown, and then fill-in with watercolors.   Stamp the text in the lower left-hand corner of the main page using black VersaFine ink, and then highlight some of the words with watercolors.   Stamp the text for the upper-right hand corner onto a scrap of blue cardstock using black VersaFine ink, and trim edges.   Cut mats slightly larger than the photos from black cardstock and adhere the photos to the mats.   Cut mats about 1 inch larger than the photos from matching cardstock, distress by crumpling repeatedly, then iron flat.   Adhere the photo for the left-hand side to the distressed white mat, then add the torn corner using a small amount of adhesive along the straight edges.   Adhere the matted photo to the page using adhesive (to hold it in place until you're done sewing), and then sew along the edges.   Adhere the photo for the right-hand side to the distressed blue mat.   Adhere the matted photo to the page using adhesive (to hold it in place until you're done sewing), and then sew along the edges.   Adhere the flower accent for the right-hand side of the page to the stamped mat, and then sew along the edges.   Adhere the matted flower to the page.   Attach the tags using black snaps.
