Instructions
1. Cut four 5” squares from the flower paper. Draw four 4” x 5” rectangles on pink cardstock with a pencil Emboss the basketweave pattern on the drawn rectangles, using the texturing tool. Cut out the embossed rectangles.
2. Draw a dot in the exact center of the white page with pencil. Using a lucite ruler, draw a 5” square angled in the center of the page (the center of the square should be at the drawn dot). Glue the photo inside the drawn square. Glue the flower squares around the sides of the photo (edges will extend beyond the page). Turn the page over and trim the squares and rectangles even with the edges of the white page.
3. Tear strips that are at least 1 ¼” wide diagonally from the peach cardstock, using the scallop edger on one side and the wave edger on the opposite side. Begin at the center, tearing three strips on both sides of the center. Two long strips will be placed vertically on the page. Short strips will be pieced behind the long strip horizontally. Punch flowers randomly in the center of the strips. Antique around the flower holes on strips with pink ink, using a small piece of dry sponge. Cut four 1 1/8” wide strips from the white cardstock and glue to the back of the torn strip so that the flowers are white.
4. Glue horizontal strips across the top and bottom of the photo with the ends extending at the edges. Turn the page over and trip the strips even with the edges of the white page. Sew a machine zig zag stitch along the torn edges, leaving the thread ends at the edges of the page. Sew a machine straight stitch ¼” from the torn edges of the strips, leaving the thread ends at the edges of the page. (TIP: Adjust the length of the stitch on the machine to make it about 1/8” in length – tiny stitches may cause the paper to tear). Trim the thread ends 1” from the stitching and glue to the back side. Glue and stitch the vertical strips to the page the same as the horizontal strips. Sew a machine straight stitch along each side of the page 1/8” form the edge, trimming the thread ends 1” from the stitching and glue to the back.
5. To make the tag, print “100% pure girl” on white cardstock. Cut a 1 ¼” x 4 ½” rectangle around the words, leaving room on the right side for the flower. Trim the left side to a point. Sew a machine straight stitch around the tag, beginning and ending at a point. Glue the thread ends to the back. Punch a flower from the peach cardstock and antique the edges with pink ink. Glue the flower to the right side of the tag. Punch a 1/16” hole in the center of the flower and attach the paper fastener. Tie the lavender ribbon into a bow. Sew the button to the pointed end of the tag and through the center of the bow. Knot the thread ends in the back of the bow. Glue the bow to the bottom right corner of the photo.
