Glue the lower half of the constructed front to the card.
Ink the large pink label edges plum and punch a hole in each end. Cut the ribbon in half and knot each piece in the center. Thread a ribbon through each hole, pulling the knot to the hole on the front. Foam tape the label to the front, then glue the ribbon ends under the front. Glue the upper half of the constructed front in place. Stamp “congratulations” in blue on Serendipity light blue dots paper and ink the edges blue.
