two triangles. Adhere the paper triangles onto the card. Adhere the bottom

of one triangle to the back of the card and then the other over the top to

form a pocket card. Cut the centre of a card front and adhere it with 3D foam

again twice and colour the doves in. Cut out the first image complete and then cut

out the two doves and then one dove from the other images. Decoupage them together 

and adhere to the centre of the card. Glitter the berries. Stamp, emboss, cut

and shape the poinsettias. Stamp and cut swirls inking the leaves and berries.

Glitter the berries. Adhere the swirls and flowers to your card. Cut a passage

from the paper pad and cut a piece of green card 1/4" larger and adhere the 

passage to it. Place this inside your pocket and your project is complete.
