Instructions:

1. Choose one of the three large head/hat stamps from the Off the Top of my Head Clear Stamp Set. I love all three of them, but I had to use the one with the cat first. 
2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the head onto white cardstock.
3. Fussy-cut the lady's head and hat. It won't hurt her. She's paper.
4. Use Copic markers to color the head and hat.
5. Edge the colored, fussy-cut image with a black pen or marker.
6. Set aside.
7. Select a frame from the Blooming Marvelous Ephemera Stack.
8. Fussy-cut the outside and the inside of the frame. 
9. Edge the frame with a black pen or marker.
10. Flip the frame over and adhere acetate to cover the opening of the frame.
11. Create an A6 card from Raven cardstock. 
12. Trim the pink dotted patterned paper to 4.25" x 6" and edge it with it with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink.
13. Adhere the patterned paper to the front of the card.
14. Place the fussy-cut frame from Steps 7-9 positioned as you like on the front of the card.
15. Measure from the outside of the card to inside the curves. 
16. Set the frame aside.
17. Remove the covering from one side of the tape and adhere the tape on the card to form a rectangular well using the measurements from Step 14. Remember to keep the covering on the other side of the tape.
18. Pat the inside edges of the foam tape with an Anti-static tool.
19. Add shaker bits to the inside of the foam-tape well.
20. Remove the covering from the foam tape.
21. Place the frame onto the tape to cover the shaker contents.
22. Choose a sentiment from the Blooming Marvelous Bits and Bobs Ephemera Pack.
23. Adhere the sentiment to the frame as shown.
24. Adhere the colored, fussy-cut lady's head on top of the sentiment and the frame to finish the card.
