  2. Load the jumbo Rollagraph handle with mandarin Ancient Page ink cartridge and “flutter bugs” wheel. Prime the stamp on scrap paper then stamp each strip.
  3. Transfer the largest square frame from the full sheet to a piece of wax or parchment paper. Use Chalk inks and foam blender tips to color the frame, allowing colors to overlap and blend. Add small amounts of silver rub-ons to frame.
  4. Ink the small stamp with green Chalk ink and stamp image several times on the frame and on a 3.5 inch square of “tiles in yellow” paper.
  5. Condition pearl Premo and roll out a sheet approximately 1/16 inch thick. Use the tag template to cut out a tag shape from the sheet of clay.
  6. Press “dotted tiles” metal embellishment around the edges of the clay tag to texture it. Highlight texture with silver rub-ons.
  7. Stamp title on unbaked clay with coal ink. Bake at 275 degrees F for thirty minutes. Allow to cool.
  8. Crop photos to 3.25 inches square and mat three photos on orange cardstock leaving narrow border.
  9. Adhere stamped strips of “tiles in yellow” to “turquoise odyssey” paper. Position wider strip about two inches in from right edge. Place the other strip across the page about 2/3 of the way down the page.
  10. Mount three matted photos along strip on right edge. Position fourth photo at top left and cover with inked and stamped frame.
  11. At bottom left, mount stamped square of “tiles in yellow” paper with a smaller piece of orange cardstock. Add baked clay tag and ribbon.
