Instructions:
1. Rub X-Static or other static eliminator over gold Foil sheet. Stamp the stained glass rubber stamp onto the piece of gold metal sheet using black dye ink. Emboss this stamped image using gold embossing powder and heat tool. Color all areas of the stained glass image using the glaze gel pens. Allow to dry. Cover entire colored stained glass image with crystal lacquer and set aside to dry (usually overnight).

2. Cut papers as directed in the supplies. Round off top corners of the 12" x 12" sheet and the yellow and purple cut papers if desired.

3. Using die cut machine cut title letters out on the turquoise scrap paper (I had mine set to 1" letters). Cut the shape (cylinder1) for the photo mat at 5 1/2" on the yellow piece twice and the outline of the same shape and size for the mat frame twice on the purple piece. Adhere the purple outline onto the yellow mat and cut photos to fit inside and adhere those as well.

4. Adhere the flowers as shown in photo to the top of the two photo mats.

5. Adhere the yellow piece of cardstock to the purple piece of cardstock that you have pre-cut. Adhere the title letters onto the yellow toward the left side.

6. Stamp "Easter Blessings" across the top of the 12" x12" page using the turquoise gem ink. Stamp the stained glass cross across the bottom of the 12" x 12" page using the same ink.
Color the areas of the stained glass cross as shown in photo using glaze gel pens. Let dry.

7. Adhere the photos with the mats onto the page as shown. Adhere the title strip as shown over the photo mats. Adhere the small flowers along the bottom of the page.

8. Put centers in all of the flowers using gold glitter glue. Allow to dry completely.

9. Cut around the dried metal stained glass cross and adhere to the right side of the title strip.
