2) Add a strip of black lace horizontally across the middle of the cover.
3) Cut out a huge flower from the pattern paper and ink it's edges with distress ink. Add it to the cover and detail it with Stickles.
4) Bind the album up using some binding rings included with the mini album and tie some ribbons and lace to the rings. Cut out some tags from the pattern paper and mat it with some cardstock. Add flower to them and tie them to the rings with some ribbons.
