Raw material required:

1. Hand made paper (Yellow) : 22 cm x 17 cm.
2. Tinted paper (Violet) : 3 cm x 14.5 cm
3. Glossy paper (White) : 4 cm x 15.5 cm
4. Flower shapes (Dark pink) : 4
5. Metallic rings : 4
6. Paper cutter
7. Glue
8. Metal ruler

Procedure:

Cut a hand made paper (yellow) into 22 cm x 17 size. Then fold it at the center so that the size of the folded plane card is 11 cm x 17 cm.

Cut a tinted paper (violet) into 3 cm x 14.5 cm and a glossy paper (white) into 4 cm x 15.5 cm. Now we have 2 stripes, which we can paste over the hand made paper.

Using glue, first paste the white stripe at a distance of 1 cm from the folded line as shown.

Next apply the glue on the blue stripe and paste it over the white stripe area.

Now start to paste flower shapes and metallic rings as shown.

We have kept enough space at right hand side so that you can paint any message over there.

Now your own handcrafted greetings card is ready for the Valentine day celebration.

TIP : You may select different colors and sizes of paper, different flower designs to have different color combinations of your choice.
