    Materials:

    tan card stock
    Classic Pooh and Piglet stickers
    Laura Ashley decorative papers
    dye-based brown ink
    cotton sponge
    Art Nouveau Architexture frame
    ribbon
    hook-and-loop tape
    Cutterpede
    Herma adhesive
    3D-Dots

    1. Cut a 6" x 12" piece of tan card stock as the foundation for the card.

    2. Ct two 5-3/4" x 7" rectangles and a 1" x 5-3/4" rectangle from each of three coordinating Laura Ashley decorative papers.

    3. Adhere the two large rectangles to the 6" x 12" piece of card stock.

    4. Overlap the decorative rectangles at their meeting points and cover the seam with the 1-inch strip of decorative paper (figure A).

    5. "Age" the paper with a cotton make-up sponge and brown ink (figure B). Begin applying the ink directly to the paper along the edges with the cotton sponge. Rub some color into the center of the decorative paper.

    6. Score the 6" x 12" card 3 inches from the top and 4 inches from the bottom. Your card is now decorated and folded. Set the foundation to the side.

    7. Age the square Architexture frame with the cotton sponge and brown ink (figure C).

    8. Cut a 2-inch square of tan card stock and age it with brown ink. Apply a Phrase Café "Thank You" sticker to the center of the card stock square (figure D).

    9. Adhere the card stock square to the back of the frame.

    10. Tie a ribbon into a bow and attach the tails to the back of the frame (figure E).

    11. Adhere the frame and ribbon to the center front flap of the card using 3D-Dots.

    12. Adhere hook-and-loop tape to the back of the frame and front of the card to create a closure.

    13. Embellish the card with the Classic Pooh and Piglet sticker (figure F).
