7. Adhere the Chambray Shirt cardstock strip and Wood Grain patterned paper strip vertically along the left side of the card base front.

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.

When it is dry, fussy cut out the image and adhere it to the right side of the fence with small foam squares.
