Ink : Memento Tuxedo Black  ,Ranger Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink, Ranger  Dried Marigold Distress Ink.

Tools: Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy, Paper Cutter (I use Fiskars), Scissors  (Tim Holtz helps reduce pain for those with arthritis!), Quickie Glue Pen, Adhesive, jumbo sponge daubers, Die cutter for flourishes of your choice  and Pop Dots.

Embelishments: Prisma Flowers Rose and  "Branches 2 " cut from Cindy Loo Cricut Cartridge  for flourishes, Ranger Stickles

 Lightly sponge the upper left and lower right corner with Spiced Marmalade Ink with your jumbo dauber and then sponge Dried Marigold over the very tip of both corners to add dimension and depth.

Tip of the Day:  An easy way to reference your images from your Cricut Cartridge booklet is to assign a number to  them and write them in your booklet.  For example, there are 5 rows and 10 keys to each row.  I number mine 1.1, 1.2, 1.2 etc.  I write them in the corner of each page.  When I make notes for future reference,  it is easy to locate the image I used in the past.
