Vintage Valentine Card

By Aneta Matuszewska

“Hello dear G45ers,

This romantic Valentine’s card will make a sweetest,

tiny gift for your beloved someone:

Step by step instructions below:

1. Fussy Cut flowers and sentiment, and 2×3 inch cut-a-party.
    
2. Position pieces moving around until you get the composition you like.
    
3. Layer together by adding dimension with foam adhesive and a doily.
    
4. Give your sentiment a banner feel by putting adhesive an inch from either side, leaving the center unadhered, making the center pop-up from card.
