Supplies:

1-6" x 6" Blank Card

1-5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Patterned/Solid Color paper

1-1" x 6" strip of paper

1-2" x 6" strip paper

1 tag (1" x 2 1/4") 

1-piece of paper to stamp image on

1-piece of paper approximately 4 1/2" x 6" for matting stamped image

Brads

Ribbon

Stickles

Stamp Pad - Brown

Gel Pens and Colored Pencils

Red Line Tape - something similar that is strong

Instructions:

Stamp image of your choice onto paper; leaving approximately 1/4" border on all sides trim away excess paper.  Color in you image.  I wanted bright colors in certain areas of my image (ie. umbrella and hat) so I colored those areas using gel pens.  I then finished the rest of the image coloring using colored pencils and a blender stick to blend and smooth the coloring.  

Stamp your "message" on the tag.

Once your image is colored using coordinating paper mat your image.  For the ornate borders on the top and bottom of my mat I used one of Sizzix shapeabillities.  I cut out the pieces of the shape and adhered them to the top and bottom of the back of my matt :).  Distress the edges using your stamp pad. Add a decorative brad to each corner of your image.

Now you are ready to assemble, using the photo as a guide layer your papers on your blank card.
