3. Ink the edges of the front of the card with the brown ink.  Ink the edges of cardstock E in place on the card.
4. With the Frame rubber stamp and the blue ink, stamp a frame onto the white cardstock.  Cut out the middle of the frame as well as around the outside edges with the craft knife.  Take a 2” square scrap of the pattern paper and glue onto cardstock F in the center.  Glue the Frame over it onto F as well.
