STEP-OUTS:
Punch out card pieces from Basic Grey’s Card Kit for the outside top of the clutch and size a piece of cardstock from Collection Pack to cover the outside, bottom portion of the clutch.  Choose coordinating papers from Radiant Paper Designs and size for inside the clutch.  
Using the Tattered Rose inkpad from the Distress Ink line, add color to the clutch by sweeping the inkpad from side to side on both sides.  Soften the ink color with dry brushed gesso and allow to dry.
Using rub-ons that are provided in the Card Kit, rub large swirl on what will be the upper right of the bottom cardstock.  Lay out a pleasing design with the card cut-outs, then, choose the bottom left corner cardstock to add the heart and flourish rub-on. Run all pieces through a Xyron machine or attach with adhesive of choice.
Add embellishments, including, heart cut-outs from Card Kit and pink rick-rack from Vintage Hip Trims.
Line inside of clutch with one side of chosen coordinated two-sided design on the top and the other side on the bottom.  Embellish with trims from Vintage Hip Trims. Attach Battenburg Lace square sporting two pins from the Vintage Hip Trinket Pins with glue dots.
