Paperbag Notecard
by Shona Cole

Step 1 Stamp botanical images over the front of a small paper bag (The font is the side without the folded bottom of the bag). This will be your notecard envelope. Set aside for a minute.
Step 2 Spray a piece of notebook paper with 3 different colors of inks and allow the colors to bleed into each other.

Step 3 When dry tear a strip of the inked paper and stamp text stamp on the strip
Step 4 Glue this to the stamped paper bag
Step 5 Adhere a decorative paper flower to the paper bag ‘envelope’. You may want to use hot glue to make this stick well.
Step 6 To make your notecard - tear or cut a piece of old book paper to fit inside the envelope with a tag shaped triangle at one end that will peek out of the envelope.

Step 7 Trim some blank paper smaller than the old book paper and adhere.
Step 8 Stamp one end of the notecard leaving space to write your note.
Step 9 Punch a hole on the tag end and thread a strip of fabric as a tie. Adhere some of this fabric to the notecard too.
