Instructions

Stamp quote on natural cardstock with faded jeans ink. Rub edges with faded jeans ink. Pierce holes along the top and bottom using the Tim Holtz ruler and an awl. Set aside.

Natural cardstock is used for the background. Stamp harlequin border twice on 2 corners with faded jeans ink. Pierce holes as shown using the Tim Holtz ruler and an awl. Sponged faded jeans ink on edges. Set aside.

 

Sand one side of copper piece. I used a sanding block sanding first in one direction and then in the opposite direction. Apply alcohol inks and blending solution to felt applicator and tap across the sanded side of the copper, let dry. Emboss the piece using the Cuttlebug folder and machine (or hand emboss a design). Put a little blending solution on a paper towel and lightly rub on just the embossed areas of the copper to remove the alcohol inks. Add eyelets to the corners of the copper piece and layer to background.

Color ribbon with faded jeans ink and iron between paper to set color. Tie ribbon around copper/background panel as shown. Layer panel to folded black card. Add quote piece to card.
