Instructions:

Using a 5.5” x 5.5” card, cut plum-colored cardstock down to 5.5” x 1.5” and cut one edge with a craft scissor to give it a ‘wavy’ shape. Make sure to line up with the top of the page and adhere to the purple cardstock using spray adhesive. Cut a piece of blue-colored cardstock to 5.5” x 1.75”. Spray the back of the blue-colored cardstock and adhere to the bottom of purple cardstock. Cut a strip of ribbon wide enough to stretch across cardstock and add Zots to back side. Glue above blue piece, overlapping slightly so edge of blue cardstock is not visible. Cut three thin strips of blue cardstock, trimming them at different lengths and glue them to left, center, and right of card, lining them with the top edge. Cut out star shapes with paper punch and glue them to end of blue strips. Position the Silly Milly millefiore cane below the middle star and adhere using a glue gun. Print vellum quote and trim to appropriate size. Stick to cardstock with spray adhesive. Cut two small squares from printed background paper and glue to left and right of vellum, overlapping so center of square is centered with the edge of the vellum. Add yellow eyelets to each square. Stamp image on the back with Elegant Eggplant stamp pad to identify yourself as the artist and you’re done!
