Adhere the olive-colored cardstock to the white cardstock using spray adhesive making sure to line up with the right side of the page. Spray the back of the rose-colored cardstock and adhere to the white cardstock, overlapping the olive-colored cardstock and lining up with the left-hand side of page. Trim your vellum quote to match the width of the rose-colored cardstock and pulling at the top edge with your fingers, create a jagged edge. Line up with bottom of card and spray with spray adhesive. Lay on top of cardstock. Using the stamp pad (Elegant Eggplant), stamp your image onto bright white cardstock. Cut into a square (1.75“ x
1.75”) and using the Zots, adhere to the page. Cut a small piece of gold wire, curl it around a small round object making it into a spiral. Heat up the glue gun and once it’s nice and hot, add some glue to the backside of your Silly Milly and to the backside of your wire. Place wire in the appropriate spot on the paper and place the Silly Milly on top. Using the stamp pad (Elegant Eggplant), stamp your image from the Word by Word stamp onto bright white cardstock. Trim around the image and apply to the edge of the rose-colored cardstock. Stamp image on the back, identify yourself as the artist, and you’re done!
