Wrap the natural twine over the top of the ribbon four times and adhere the ends of this to the back as well. Create a double looped bow from the Special Day ribbon and adhere it to the front upper left of the card front on top of the ribbon band.

10. Die-cut the Garden Fence die out of the 3” x 5" piece of Whip Cream cardstock and adhere it to the bottom of the card. The bottom of the fence should line up with the bottom edge of the card.
