1. Cut Photo into a 4x5½” piece for front of memory book. 2. Using the small foam applicators and the Vivid rainbow pad, color the buttons on the Photo Tintz in with different colors of dye ink. Rub off excess with a paper towel. 3. On a small piece of white glossy cardstock, use the makeup wedge to color it with one of the matching dye inks (this is what you will be stamping the message on). 4. Once this piece is dry, stamp your “message” with brown ink and cut down to desired side. Place double-sided foam tape on the back of this piece. 5. Using the needle tool and the piece of foam, poke holes through the buttonholes in the colored Photo Tintz, making sure you don’t do so where your message will be placed on top. 6. Cut small pieces of 22 gauge Brown wire (approx 1”) and bend them at right angles to insert into buttonholes. Bend toward each other in the back and flatten as much as you can. 7. Place double-sided foam tape on the back of this wired piece, trying to avoid the wired areas. If desired, place a second layer of foam tape on the entire back. 8. Cut piece of peach cardstock 9/16” larger around each side than the colored Photo Tintz. 9. Adhere ½” red line tape around all the outside edges of the peach cardstock & sprinkle on bead mix (do this over some sort of tray so it is easier to retrieve the beads). 10. Adhere the stamped message to the Photo Tintz. 11. Adhere Photo Tintz to the beaded piece. 12. Adhere the entire piece to the front of the memory book with red line tape.
