Directions for the Card
Cut a piece of cardstock to measure 8-7/8" x 5-5/8". Fold in half and score, creating a card that measures 4-3/8" x 5-5/8". Ink hearts brayer roller with red ink, then roll across front flap of card. Allow to dry.

Press cotton ball onto red dye ink pad. Stamp cotton ball onto scrap paper to get excess ink off. Drag cotton ball along top, right and bottom edges of the inside of back flap of card to create a "chalky" red border about ½" wide.

Use photo stickers to adhere this piece of cardstock onto red handmade paper. Tear handmade paper approximately ¼" larger than the cream cardstock.
