Instructions:

  1. Turn the card so the fold is at the top. Cover the card front with burgundy floral paper. Ink the edges of a 6 ½” x ½” strip of ivory cardstock and glue across the card, 1” from the top. Tear one edge of the tan/teal/purple/rust floral paper, then place it over the card front with the torn edge against the ivory cardstock. Adjust the edge of the paper so a bit of the ivory cardstock shows, then glue in place. Trim edges even with the card. Ink the edges of a 6 ½” x ¼” burgundy paper strip and glue across the card, ¾” from the bottom. Ink edges of the card.
  2. Layer flowers together and secure with a great big brad. Punch a circle from remaining tan/teal/purple/rust floral paper and ink the edges. Glue centered on the great big brad. Zot™ the flowers to the card front as shown. Write or computer print “Birthday Wishes” on ivory cardstock, and trim to a 2” x 1 1/8” rectangle. Trim corners on the left side for a tag shape. Ink the edges and glue near the flowers.
  3. Inside the card: Write or computer print “May they all come true.” on ivory cardstock, then trim to a rectangle. Ink the edges and mat on burgundy floral paper leaving a 1/8” border. Ink the edges and mat on tan/teal/purple/rust floral paper, leaving a ¾” border at top and sides, and a 1” border at the bottom. Ink the edges of a ¼” wide burgundy strip and glue across the center of the 1” border at the bottom. Ink the edges of mat and glue centered to the inside.
