7. Shape a pair of glasses with the pipe cleaner and glue it to the card. Hold it down for a few seconds until the glue has dried.

 
8. Draw arms and legs with the black pen, and color the hands and feet with the pink pen.

 
9. Make a bow with the strip of white felt. Glue it to the heart girl's head, and glue the rhinestone flower over the bow's knot. Write "I am wide-eyed over you" inside the card and voila!
