Journey to Wonderland - Sorry It's Late - Project of the Week

Materials:
8" x 8" white card
Topper Sheet
Backing Paper
Sentiment

Equipment:
Trimmer/ Craft Knife
Scissors
Double Sided Tape/Craft Glue
Sticky pads/Silicone glue

What You Need to Do:
1) Cut out your backing paper and attach to the card front using double sided tape or craft glue.

2) Cut out the ribbon strip from the topper sheet and attach diagonally across the top and bottom corner of the card as shown.

3) Cut out your topper and attach centrally to the card front using foam pads or silicone glue (if using silicone glue you now need to put your project to one side before continuing, to allow it to dry)

4) Attach the two sentiments - one in the top left corner and one in the bottom right corner. Because the topper is raised with foam pads the outside edge of the sentiment need to have a foam pad under it but the inside edge (over the topper) only needs glue or double sided tape) to keep it flat with the topper.

5) Finally the card can be decorated with glitter or gems as you want to.
