color
Soft bristled brush
Decorative stamp (we used Posh Impressions

Instructions
1.
Using the stamp and pigment ink, stamp design on black
paper in desired pattern.
2.
Sprinkle Pearl Ex lightly over stamped image. The
powder will cling to the ink. Gently brush excess powder off of
paper. Repeat steps to create background pattern for page.
3.
Cut an 8" x 8" square from colored cardstock
and adhere in the center of page. Crop photos into a 3 ¾"
x 3 ¾" square and mount in a quadrant on cardstock leaving
an 1/8" border between each photo and the edge of cardstock.
4.
Using the alphabet template, trace and cut out title
letters from cardstock. Adhere to page and use pen to outline each
letter. Cut and adhere small rectangles from remaining colored cardstock
to identify people in the photos.
