Spray with fixative (or sprinkle on black, copper, and clear embossing powders and heat set). Adhere matted photo. Mount panel onto scrap cardstock (for rigidity). Rub inks all over smaller cardstock and embossed design of larger cardstock.
2. Cut 8" x 10" rectangle from center of larger cardstock. Cut rectangle in half (vertically) and remove embossed design from each piece. Cut designs only in half again. Adhere two of the four designs to page 2" down from top as shown. Adhere remaining two designs to each side of one panel and trim excess cardstock. Add journaling in center. Adhere top paper over hole with foam tape and back page with large black cardstock.
3. Repeat rubbing step again with two border stickers. Affix one sticker to top of 8-1/2" wide x 5-1/2" high black cardstock. Trim off excess and set aside. Adhere panel, from step 2, adjacent to border. Affix border sticker to bottom and trim off excess border and cardstock. Affix excess borders to sides and miter cut. Slide block under photo mat.
