   2 Trim floral striped paper, 11.5cm square, mount onto green card, then attach at an angle. Mount floral textured paper, 10.5cm x 11.5cm, onto green card, then attach at a different angle to the first piece. Cut a strip of red spotted paper, 1.7cm x 13.5cm, mount onto green card, then attach on top as shown.
   
   3 Wrap ribbon around the spotted strip securing the ends underneath the card front. Attach the card front to centre of the card blank. Stamp a teapot image in black ink onto white card, then colour with Copics and a Gold Star pen.
   
   4 Die-cut two shapes using a Lawn Fawn stitched circle die, one smaller white circle and one larger from green card. Mount the white image onto the green. Attach to the card front.
   
   5 Stamp a sentiment onto white card, then mount onto red. Attach across the bottom of the die-cut circles. Adhere red and white roses, alternating the colours, as shown.
