If desired sprinkle Distress Spritz as an additional layer over the stenciling.
Using ⅛ inch double sided adhesive add to 3 sides of the 4x2 paper leaving the top with no adhesive. Adhere to the main card to create a pocket MemoryDex Card.
Prepare cluster elements:
Die cut Vintage Label from Pattern Paper and distress edges with sand paper or a distress tool.
As was done in Lesson 1 with the stamped heart and Victorian Velvet, stamp again on Mixed Media Paper and fussy cut out the middle with a craft knife.
Stamp a smaller heart and fussy cut around edges.
Stamp sentiment on scrap paper with Ground Espresso Ink. Trim out making two sentiment strips.
Gather a postage ephemera or postage washi or even a postage die as an additional clustering piece.
Assemble:
Trim a piece of acetate 2 inches by 2 inches.
Build the clusters on the top inch of the acetate as follows:
Adhere label with double sided foam.
With a tiny attacher staple the larger heart to the postage embellishment, then adhere postage to the label allowing it to hang over the left edge a bit.
Adhere the smaller heart to the lower portion of the larger heart with pieces of double sided adhesive.
Do same with the sentiment strips layering over the smaller heart.
Using a piece of trim tie in a bow and adhere to the larger heart with a dot of craft glue or hot glue.
Tuck the acetate into the pocket.
