Instructions:

1.                Cut Burgundy card stock to 8” x 8”. Cut Distressed background paper to 7 ½” x 7 ½”; attach to burgundy card stock. Set aside.

2.                Paint CD and slide mailer with manila scrapbook paint; let dry thoroughly. Then paint with iron oxide acrylic (full concentration do not dilute) let dry thoroughly. Sand the CD in one direction to distress it. Repeat with the slide holder.

3.                Reduce picture to fit in slide holder approx 1”x 2 ½-3”; glue inside slide holder with craft glue.

4.                “Flatten” the bottle cap with rubber mallet and paint with iron oxide paint. Punch circle out of manila card stock and stamp fishing lure with black noir ink. Sponge burgundy ink over the card stock and glue to bottle cap. Glue bottle cap to slide mailer with book binding glue.

5.                Using burgundy ink that has been “off stamped” (to make it lighter in intensity), stamp fish onto tag. Distress slightly with the burnt umber using your “craft toothbrush” and glue to slide mailer with craft glue.

6.                Paint tooth pick with the Iron Oxide and wipe most of it off with a paper towel.

7.                Remove shanks from the back of the fishing basket button with shank remover or scissors and to slide mailer with book binding glue. Insert tooth pick and glue fish button to the end of tooth pick – this is the fishing pole.

8.                Reduce sticker to fit the page you are using if needed, then layer on burgundy card stock and attach with Monoadhesive.
