Ink it up with the Emerald Envy Ink Pad. Stamp on the white strip as close to the notched edge as possible. The "y" in "birthday" may go off the bottom of the cardstock a bit.
Adhere the sentiment banner to the arrow patterns piece if Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper about 1/2" from the bottom. Make sure the notch is on the right side and almost touches the right edge of the designer paper.
