happy anniversary
1 Trim blue paper to 11.5cm wide and attach it to the lower edge of a green card blank. Cut a 5cm x 11.5cm band of flower patterned paper and glue across the card face above the blue panel.
2 Rub 'happy anniversary' onto a flowerprinted die-cut panel. Trim a panel of pale green paper slightly larger than the sentiment panel and round off the corners. Attach the two together using 3-D foam pads. Glue to the card as shown.
3 Arrange several die-cut flowers across the card face and fix in place with 3-D foam pads. Decorate the centres with pink flower sequins, adding one or two to the card face.
4 Cut a 4mm wide strip from the clear acrylic sheet used in your kit packaging. Secure to the back of the butterfly die-cut with a little tape. Place the motif in position with the strip pointing upwards and mark the point where it crosses the top edge of the card face. Score and fold at this point, leaving 1.5cm beyond the fold and trimming off the excess. Secure to the inside of the card using a tiny strip of double-sided tape.

Top Tips
Using a strip of acrylic sheet to attach a motif is a great way to add movement and dimension to a card in an almost invisible way; here, the butterfly appears to hover over the flowers. Bend the wings forward a little to add to the realistic effect.Try the same idea with planes, rockets, birds and other things that fly
