• Julie decoupaged little tiny bits of a book page onto the brightly-colored Paisley Road flowers.
• She also lightly drew the vine with a pencil and then adhered green paper scraps to act as leaves.  Stitch over the entire thing to create the vine and add the flowers.
• Use gesso to white out a portion of the busy background paper and create some space for the layout to live in.
• To create the title use a pencil to write it out on cardstock and then cut the words out.  (Carefully erase the pencil lines.)
