Cut a kite shadow from black card stock by taping onto a block of black card stock and hand trimming around.   Kite attached to card using foam tape.

Accents you may choose to add to kite (optional):  Add a brad to center of kite.  On example above, I've also added yellow twine to the kite center (on the raised sections).  Yellow twine is Friendship Twine purchased in the children's craft section at Walmart.  The twine was extended to create a tail to the kite.   Twine added with Tacky Glue.

Flower on front of card = punched from Martha Stewart punch.  A brad matching the kite was added to center of flower.  Stickles and Glossy Accents added to pink petals of flower.   Flower attached to card using Scotch Quick Dry glue.
