3) Using double-sided tape stick Mirror card to front and both the middle parts of the card. Stick Cloud Ivy paper on top of the Mirror card on the front of your card. Open the card and repeat on the left hand side.
4) Stick your birthday message onto some Cloud Ivy paper, cut around leaving a small edge and repeat on the mirror card. Add some embroidery thread to the top of the Gone Fishing sign. Hang over birthday message and stick using double-sided tape to the front of your card. I have added two foam double-sided pads to the back of the wood sign to hold it in place.
5) Open your card out. Write your message onto a piece of Bazzill card and stick onto left hand side.
6) Cut a strip of Acetate measuring 6.5cm x1.5cm. Make a flap at each end measuring 1.5cm. Stick one of the flaps to the middle of the back of the Cloud Ivy paper and stick on top of the mirror card on right hand side. Stick the flap on the other end of acetate to the back of the fisherman image. It should fit between the mans shoulder blades. This will make your image ‘pop’ out when the card is opened. Decorate inside of card.
