  1. Ink two small birds with the espresso ink; adding drops of ink to the birds, then spreading it slightly with an alcohol-moistened applicator. Let dry. Use the cotton swab to add the raisin and pesto ink to the vine with the flowers and let dry. Cut to separate the words “happy” and the phrase “sweet memories”. Use an applicator or cotton ball moistened with alcohol to add espresso ink to the words and let dry.
  2. Place the card with the fold on the left. Cover the card front with floral paper, positioning the floral portion at the bottom. Ink the edges lightly with espresso ink and a dry applicator. Add "happy", the vine with the flowers, and the birds with Zots™. Write "birthday" on the small pink tag and attach it with a brown mini brad beneath "happy'.
  3. For the inside: Line the inside back panel with floral paper, positioning the floral border at the bottom. Ink the edges with espresso. Write on a large pink tag, leaving space for "sweet memories" and a single flower cut from the vine. Add a brad and glue to the inside, as shown.
