Make the 'Grand Day Out' card

Step 1

Cover the front of a 14.5 x 10cm tent-fold card with the carnival printables. Cut a 13.5 x 8cm frame, decorate the base with a paper strip and bakers twine, then add to the card.

Step 2

Arrange the large balloon so that it overlaps the left side of the frame and tuck a cloud cut from some white card behind. Use 3D adhesive to add dimension to the design.
