• Take a sheet of the hand-writing design from the Travel in Italy paper book and attach to the front of the A6 blank.
• Load the Oriental fans rubber stamp with red ink and stamp onto a sheet of the Italian skyline design. Tear around the shape to form a rough square. And affix to the card with foam pads at a slight angle.
• Tear a 2cm x 11.5cm strip of lighter patterned paper from the book. Attach underneath the fan motif with double-sided tape and write-on your message with black pen.
• Take two lengths of cream organza ribbon and criss-cross over the middle of a full square sheet of the rich red, yellow and turquoise handwriting paper from the Travel in Italy paper book as shown. Secure the ends of the ribbon on to the back of the paper.
• Attach the square patterned sheet to the front sheet of folded A4 card. Trim the card so only the square of paper is visible
• Download the heart template by clicking on the link below to trace and cut the shape from the blue dreamy landscape design. Attach with double-sided tape in the middle of the card, over the organza ribbon.
• Draw a small heart from the lighter part of the dreamy landscape design so that it contrasts with the larger shape. Scribe 'amore' onto the smaller heart with black pen and attach to the centre of the central motif with foam pads.
