Materials…

• White 15cm-square card blank
• Medium balloon punch
• Gold thread
• Gold Mirri, red, yellow & blue cardstock
• 3D foam tape
• PC & printer

To create…

1 Print out the background paper, Alfie image and greeting panel from the CD-ROM.

2 Cut the background paper to measure 13cm-square, matt and layer the background paper onto red and gold mirri cardstock, then onto the card front leaving a narrow border each time.

3 Punch out five balloons from yellow and blue cardstock and add highlights using a felt pen, then cut out the Alfie image and greeting panel.

4 Attach a piece of gold thread to the back of each balloon, fix Alfie and the balloons onto the card front using 3D foam tape and position the gold threads from each balloon to the back of Alfie’s hand.

5 Add a sentiment panel to the card front to finish.
