Directions:

1. Prepare papers by cutting 3 red cardstock pieces - 1" x 4" strip, a 3" circle and 4.25" x 11"  (fold in half to create the card), cut one red printed paper 4" x 4", the remaining one 1.5" x 4", finally, cut a green printed paper into a 2.75" circle.
2. Attach the larger piece of red printed paper at the top of the card front leaving a small border of the base showing around the edges, add the larger strip below (leaving the base peeking out along the bottom) and overlap the solid red strip to cover the seam.
3. Attach a strip of the green ribbon over the solid red strip, centering.
4. To create a bow cut a 1" and 2" strip of ribbon - adhere the ends of the longer piece of ribbon and flatten. Wrap the smaller piece around the flattened loop and attach the loose ends in the back, overlapping onto the "tails" already attached to the card.
5. Stamp the little girl image, color her dress red, hair yellow and skin peach and trim out neatly - removing the girl from the rest of the image.
6. Create the circular mat and adhere the stamped image.
7. Attach the matted image to the card front, centering above the bow.
