To create…
1 Ink the edges of the card, quite heavily, in green ink leaving a slight white aperture. Ink the edges of the tag in pink, leaving the middle of the tag slightly white. Ink the stamp in the pink ink and impress the bottom of the tag.
2 Ink the stamp again but in green and impress a piece of white card, then use a circle punch to cut it out. Ink the edges of the circle in green and adhere to the tag on the top right.
3 Thread the tag with pink and green ribbon then adhere to the centre of the card using 3D foam tape.
4 Adhere a flower to the bottom left of the tag and the numbers 21 to the bottom right.
5 Thread the right edge of the card with silver thread by wrapping three times. Apply two beads to the thread and secure the three threads with a knot.
6 Edge the top right of the card with ribbon excess by creating ‘loops’ and adhering to the inside of the card.
7 Cut your computer text into strips and ink the edges. Adhere to the tag using 3D foam tape. Finish by applying heart stickers to the ribbon tags.
