Life Quotes Craft Papers/Toppers
Hessian

1. Take a square card blank and tear a piece of backing paper to fit the front of the card. Using some distressing inks rub ink around the torn edges of the paper for a vintage feel. Fix the paper on the front of the card blank using double sided tape or craft glue.

2. Take a strip of hessian and fix a strip of lace over the top as shown fixing in place with craft glue. Cut some small pieces of brown string, gather them up and wrap one piece of string around the middle to create a shabby vintage bow. Fix the string bow to the right hand side of the hessian using craft glue then attach the strip to the bottom front of the card as shown.

3. Cut out your chosen life quote from your craft sheet and fix to the top right hand side of the card as shown.

4. To finish the card take some flower embellishments and tie a bow around the stems with some coordinating cream ribbon. Fix to the top left hand side of the card with craft glue or silicone glue. (If using silicone glue lay your card flat and leave it to dry for about an hour).
