Instructions: Write or computer print journaling on the right side of the postcard. Use a cosmetic sponge to apply aqua and brown chalks to the postcard for ease in covering large areas, and a kraft ticket. Ink the edges of each with dark brown ink. Fold the kraft ticket over the left edge of the postcard and glue in place. Mat a small photo on brown textured paper with 1/16” borders. Mat on aqua chevrons paper and tear the edges with 1/8” borders. Glue matted photo to the left side of the postcard. Glue floral postage stamp die-cut to brown textured paper and trim the edges evenly with the die-cut. Foam tape to the upper right corner of the postcard. Zot™ beige tu tu tulle ribbon along the bottom edge of the postcard. For the tulle ribbon flower, take a 12” length of tulle ribbon and place a Zot™ at one end. Begin rolling the tulle ribbon with the Zotted end, keeping the stitched edges together. Zot™ together at the bottom to secure and add to the lower left corner of the postcard. Cover the kraft heart with aqua chevrons paper and ink the edges brown. Zot™ the heart together on the pin and add to the flower. Embellish with Silver Heart Pearl Dazzles™.
