To create…

2 Cut a wide strip of manuscript paper using pinking shears, ink the edges using brown ink and adhere to the card front.
2 Print the bird image from your PC, trim to size and attach to the card front, along with a ticket sticker.
3 Punch a scalloped circle from shrink plastic, punch holes in the centre using a Crop-A-Dile, add black dots and shrink the plastic using a heat gun.
4 Cut several strips of manuscript paper using pinking shears, ink the edges and fold into loops, securing the ends.
