4-1/2" x 10" distressed tan craft paper
5" x 7" piece of 36-gauge copper metal foil
Thin-gauge copper wire

8" x 10" piece of felt or poly-foam pad (for use as embossing pad)
Small scissors

- Begin by positioning the botanical leaves stencil on green cardstock, and tape into place. Use white ink to randomly stencil leaves over cardstock surface.
- Next, position the two small frames of the Victorian frame stencil along one side of the copper sheet and tape into place. Place copper sheet face up over the felt pad.
- Then, use the embossing tool to trace outline of each frame (figure A). Remove stencil and turn copper over.
- Write a plant name lightly with pencil in the center of the frame. For a deeper impression, trace the pencil line with an embossing tool (figure B).
- Carefully cut along the outer embossed edges of each frame, then punch a hole in the corner and attach a length of wire to it.
- Emboss two different leaves from the Botanical Leaves border on the remaining copper foil and carefully cut shapes along outside of embossed lines.
- Next, tear lower edge of craft paper and adhere to stenciled cardstock created in step 1.
- Finally, layer and attach photo, foil plant tags and leaf accents as desired.
