On a blank page in your Sure Cuts
A Lot (SCAL) software, create a frame from plain rectangles that
are approx. 7/10ths thick and the width and length of your
finished piece of 5"w x 7"h. The rectangles should be
overlapping. Find a black and white or high contrast image of
some cattails and use the Trace Image feature. Position it
within your frame making sure you have several areas where the
image overlaps into the frame for strength. When you're happy,
select all items and use the WELD feature. Double check what you
will be actually cutting by going into the PREVIEW feature in
the Cutter drop down menu. If it's ok, cut out from 110# white
cardstock. |

Sponge layers of the distress
stamp pads (Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive, Forrest Moss & touch of
Vintage Photo) using the sponging tool, being careful in the delicate areas not to tear the
cattails. Mist and sprinkle water, leave a minute to activate
and then dry thoroughly. Rubber stamp your words with Vintage
Sepia, then overstamp and off set with the Black Onyx.

Cut a piece of white cardstock to
approx 5.5"w x 5"h, sponge with Distress stamp pads Old Paper &
Frayed Burlap, mist with water, let activate and dry. Run
through Cuttlebug with the branches folder so they are
horizontal along the 5.5" side. Brayer the high points with a
perfect medium pad and emboss with the Distress Antique Linen
embossing powder, then brush the embossing to get a nice
textural feel like sand. The branch folder makes it look like
ripples in the sand.
