Instructions
  1. Cut pink cardstock as follows: 4.5 x 8.5 inch (1 piece), 2 x 12 inch (1 piece).
  2. Chalk 4.5 x 8.5 inch pink rectangle with several shades of pink and purple chalks to add depth. Highlight edges with silver metallic rub-ons.
  3. Load jumbo Rollagraph handle with embossing ink cartridge and “shoes” wheel. Roll wheel on scratch paper to ink image, then roll wheel along the 2-inch piece of pink cardstock (the image will be difficult to see).
  4. Pick up pink or purple chalk on the cotton ball and gently rub the cotton ball along the stamped image. The chalks will stick to the embossing ink, making the image visible. Use one or several shades of chalk to completely “reveal” image.
  5. Buff image with soft cloth or tissue to remove excess chalk.
  6. Condition pearl Premo polymer clay and mold two embellishments with the Victorian-themed push mold.
  7. Add chalk and silver rub-ons to the unbaked embellishments to highlight details. Bake the embellishments at 275 degrees F for thirty minutes then allow to cool.
  8. Mount large rectangle of “rose lace” paper on 12 x 12 sheet of “pink trellis”. Mount focal photo on “rose lace” rectangle then on cardstock prepared in Step 2 above, then add to page. Adhere baked clay embellishments at top and bottom of photo.
  9. Mount strip with chalked “shoes” approximately 2 inches from right edge of page.
  10. Crop remaining photos and title (Inkster font on vellum) to 1.75 inches square and adhere to page.
  11. Use scissors to cut “classic corners” apart. Instead of using them as photo corners, mount them “backward” on page so that they form frames for each small photo and for the title block.
