Another card for the set I am preparing for my daughter. I am using #8 envelopes. I added a rectangle of the same pink cardstock to the front flap of this one, held it in place with regular tape and then glued my full length piece of decorative paper over the top which helps reinforce the join between the two pieces. I did add a length of turquoise ribbon to the decorative paper before gluing it down and then tied on a short piece with one knot to simulate a bow. I trimmed my little greeting giving it flagged ends and then added some texture with my pattern tracing wheel before adding a bit of colour to the edges. I glued it over the ribbon using 3D foam tape. I watercoloured my laser printed image (
Dearie Dolls) of a cat with a wedge of birthday cake. I added two triangles to two of the corners and then glued this focal element to the top portion of my card over the ribbon and above the short piece. This simulated bow works well because you can slide it along and put it just where you want it after you have tied it.
