List: Instructions: 1. Create a document using the computer with definitions of the words "cherish," "cherub," "bliss," and a poem. Print on vellum paper. Using the wonder tape sheet cover the entire backs of each of the printed images to create stickers and cut apart. 2. Take a cotton ball and squirt the three alcohol inks onto it while keeping the inks from touching. Add dots of gold paint to the cotton ball in small areas and tap the cotton ball onto the glossy side of two of the tags to create a marbled pattern. 3. On the back of the one of the marbled tags, attach a piece of printed vellum to cover the entire tag. Add collage sheet images and the definition sticker of the word "cherish." On the front of this tag, attach the image you would like for the cover. Add flowers with the gold beads as centers and the dragonfly brad. Adhere the "cherish" definition sticker at the bottom.
4. To create pages three and four of the tag, cover the first side of a blank tag with the printed paper. Stamp the little girl image on cream colored card stock with the vintage photo ink, trim out neatly, and adhere. Add the "bliss" sticker and a gold trimmed photo. On the back of the tag, stamp the chintz wallpaper image directly onto the paper in peony ink. To give a worn look to the image, there’s no need to do anything more than just tap the ink pad randomly onto the stamp. Don’t worry about a smooth, complete coverage of ink. Add the "smile" sticker and another gold trimmed photo.
5. Using the remaining alcohol inked tag, tap a cotton ball onto the vintage photo ink pad and swirl it all over the tag. Dampen another cotton ball and swirl over the ink to soften the color. Cut a piece of wonder tape 2½" x 4" and cut once more on the diagonal. Attach to both the top and bottom of the tag lining up the long side of the tape to the edge of the tag. Lay the tag on top of a coffee filter and remove the remaining backing from the tape on the tag. Pour the clear microbeads onto the sticky tape and press in firmly making sure to get complete coverage. Remove the tag from the filter. Pick up the filter carefully while bending it in the center to create a funnel to pour the remaining beads back into the package.
6. Lay the beaded side of the tag on a flat, firm surface. Ink the chintz wallpaper stamp with Blazing Red Staz-On ink and stamp the image onto the beads. Allow to dry. Add another gold trimmed photo and the poem sticker. Flip the tag over and on the alcohol inked side attach the final photo using crystal and plain brads. Add the charm in the lower left hand corner. Position the "treasure" rub-on and apply it in place.
7. Using the gold paint pen, edge each side of the tag pages of the book. Put the pages in order and add fibers through the hole to hold pages in place.
