-Wrap the strip of soft suede for the belly band and adhere into the center of the card **make sure you only apply glue to the belly band it have to be free to slide down so not to tight.

Such a cool card – thank you so much for sharing! I wish you could be a demonstrator across the border in Canada. I absolutely love your cards and your generosity for sharing. I'm a new stamper and you have taught me so much – most importantly how to love stamping.
