Melissa Phillips has been hard at work again, and I just love the beautiful apron strings cards she came up with.
Instructions
1. Create card bases from coordinating cardstock.
2. For the Apron Strings card, cut strips of patterned paper to fit across lower portion of card.
3. Apply colored rubons across top of card.
4. Attach die cut to center of card and trim off excess from bottom.
5. Cover chipboard pieces with desired patterned paper. Sand edges and ink to distress. Add rubons and rhinestones to embellish.
6. Wrap trim around mother's dress to resemble an apron. Adhere in the back and embellish with a ribbon and small flower.
7. Attach all chipboard pieces on a strand of button twine to resemble a clothesline. Adhere across front of card.
8. Apply rubon in lower left corner to finish and color in rubon heart.
9. For Homemade and Handmade Card, cut strips of paper to fit along left edge and across bottom of card.
10. Paint chipboard scroll frame with off white acrylic paint, sand to distress and adhere near left edge of card.
11. Trim down die cut tag to fit opening of frame and tie with scrunched seam binding of ribbon. Adhere to center of frame. Attach a strip of trim along bottom edge.
12. Cover mother's dress as before and embellish with an apron made out of trim. Adhere to center of tag.
13. Apply rubon to the right of frame and flower rubons. Embellish with rhinestones to finish.

Hi, Just came back here to remind you about Mobile Monopoly. It is a superb technique and WILL make you money, especially seeing as you own a website. Take a quick look at the video, the system is about using Mobile Advertising which is fresh and an unexposed market where you can make thousands by doing hardly any work. I assure you that after you watch their short video it will change you and it will start making you think. http://mobile-mastermind.com
