Place your blank card with the fold on the left. Cover the card front with Chalkboard ivory/black dots paper. Sand the edges, then add a bit of Broken China Distress Paint to the edges. Cut a 4 3/4"x6” Chalkboard words paper. Sand the edges to distress them. Randomly add broken china Distress Paint over the words, leaving some areas colored and some not. Let dry. Glue to the card, even with the fold and centered on remaining sides.
Glue the large oval doily parchment die-cut to the card, 1” from the right side. Cut a 4 3/4"x1” Chalkboard pink/tan/aqua floral paper and sand the edges. Glue centered on the oval doily die-cut and even with the right side of the words paper.

Place the Easy Stitches template on the straight side of the shape. Mask as needed with stencil tape leaving the “stitches” exposed that you wish to emboss. Spread embossing paste over the exposed stencil areas with the squeegee. Let dry. Use your finger to apply gold Perfect Pearls to the embossed areas, then randomly dab a small amount of broken china paint as well. Add Embellies™ brads over broken areas of the embossed design. Foam tape the shape even with the left edge, centered at top and bottom. Add gold Perfect Pearls to the oval doily die-cut if desired.
