The Sketch:
Sketch is NOT shown at full size. Please make sure to follow dimensions on the cutting diagrams.
Ideas to “Make It Your Own”:
3
• • • • • •
Ink or tear edges for a distressed look Use corner punches on pieces Rotate layout for a vertical orientation Instead of using ribbon/fiber for F1, make your own paper ribbon. Make your own patterned paper using stamps and solid colored paper. Instead of stitching (as seen in diagram above) draw on faux stitches or use your paper piercer.
