ATC Pattern

• Cut Purple cardstock:  2.5 in x 3.5 in (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm)
  
• For this ATC I created my own paper.  I used MicroSoft PowerPoint to create this look.
• I wanted to simulate the look of quilling paper strips so I created colored lines in various widths and shades to create the background.
  
• I then cut the paper 1/8 in smaller, on all sides, than the purple ATC size cardstock and tore the right edge
  
• I printed th word "Courage" on a scrap piece of paper and added some pink chalk through the word
  
• Later, I added Alene's Paper Glaze over "Courage" and liked the way it looked (Note: my Alene's Paper glaze is something that I have had for a long time and had not previously used.  I have been unable to find it again locally, but there are other similar products).
