I started with a large envelope and made a red card to fit inside. I added a green ribbon to this piece of glittery decorative paper before adhering it to my card front. I then border punched the right hand side of my card using this sort of ivy leafy punch. I backed the punched area with green in that it was a bit floppy on the ends. I will consider leaving a solid end when I use it next time. I had this die cut sitting on my desk from a while back and decided that it would work well with this card. I watercoloured the birds, the hearts, the wings and the branch. I slipped the end of the die cut under the ribbon and wrapped the little swirl around the ribbon. I used small pieces of 3D foam tape behind the birds and a bit of white glue behind the branch. Stamped the greeting on the upper portion of my card and added the two little hearts as well. Added the wings to finish off my card !! Therese
