Designer Tip: Using the flower and leaf stamps’ second layers alone works well for the floral accents on this scrapbook page. I “aged” the Foiled Fancies Frames by first lightly dabbing a VersaMark™ ink pad over them, then covering them with copper embossing powder. I scuffed some of the powder off the frames with my finger before heating the powder so they weren’t completely covered with the copper embossing. After heating and melting the embossing powder, I then used my finger to lightly rub Timber Brown StazOn® ink over the surface. Be sure to start out lightly with the ink. If the frame becomes too dark with ink, you can use a paper towel with StazOn™ cleaner to very lightly rub ink off the frame, but rubbing it too much will lift off the gold finish, too.

Instructions:

1. For the page: Place the Timeless Treasures corner design paper with the roses at the upper right. Place an oval and a round doily on the craft sheet, then rub the Kismet and Thunder ink pads over them, blending the inks where they overlap. Let dry, and then glue the oval doily vertically near the left edge. Glue the round doily at the lower right, overlapping the first doily.
2. Wrap a 14" brown glitter ribbon across the center and attach the ends to the back with double-sided tape. Wrap a 14" brown crepe ribbon across the paper above and a 14" brown/black dotted sheer ribbon below the glitter ribbon as shown, attaching the ends to the back. Cut a 4" length of each of the three ribbons, then tie them onto the first ribbons, placed as shown.
3. Trim the 4"x1½" Foiled Fancies label off the sheet, along with three frames that fit the photos. Follow the directions above to heat emboss and age the frames and label. Trim the photos to fit the frames, then use the double-sided tape to attach the photos to the frame backs. Journal on the label with the pen.
4. Use the 2" flower’s second layer stamp on Gold paper with Timber Brown ink to stamp it six times. Stamp the 1½" flower’s second layer six times on Gold paper with Timber Brown ink. Stamp the leaf’s second layer 14 times on Gold paper with Ponderosa ink, then cut out all the flowers and leaves, leaving a narrow gold border along each.
5. Foam tape the largest photo and the label and glue the remaining photos to the page, leaving the edges unglued. Tuck flowers and leaves under the photo edges as shown and glue. Foam tape a small flower at the upper left and a small flower at the center bottom as shown.
6. Emboss and age four small Foiled Fancies corners and two bars as for the frames. Glue the corners in the page corners. Glue the bars over the ends of the ribbons and place rhinestones on the flowers as shown.
