  • Using the sponge daubing technique, lightly apply Chocolate ink to the bottom portion of each letter.
  • Using the stamp kissing technique, stamp the lattice image over the inked letter.
  • Stamp the letter on the title piece.
  • Repeat each step until the title is complete.

• Trim around the flower and attach to the top right corner of the title.
• Attach the ribbon to the page as follows: a 13" piece along piece C; a 4" piece around the 13" piece, tying it 3" from the top; a 3" piece tied in a knot and attached to the center of the cut-out flower.
