Ink the edges of the 5" square paper and the circles with distress ink.
Tape a piece of pink grossgrain ribbon to cover the digital ribbon on the page.
Insert a brad into each circle, and attach them to the page with foam tape, covering the printed circles.
Insert three brads at the bottom right edge, covering the printed brads.
Attach the entire piece to the card with foam tape
Print your Cherish element on photo paper and cover the center portion with Glossy Accents. (This is a digital design, but you can use a purchased piece)
Let dry, cut out, and attach to card.

Technique: I didn't have turquoise cardstock that was the exact color I wanted, to I used the eyedropper in my graphics program to select the turquoise color from the decorative paper and filled a 5" square rectangle. So as not to waste ink, I added a white rectangle on top, leaving a little more than a 1/4" border all around, since the white portion would be covered by the brown paper. I then printed on text paper.

After I created the floral paper, I used it to fill the letter B in Cooper Black Font, then printed on cardstock. I attached it to a thick piece of cardboard, cut it out, and had my own chipboard letter in the font and style I wanted.
