2. die cut the leaves from the middle of the galvanised metallic layer, then adhere the galvanised layer only to the base card using liquid glue
3. using the splatter stamps on the white layer, stamp the full stamp a few times using the stamping off method, then the dotted stamp full strength on top
4. Now for the 'twist' - layer your aspen window die as if to die cut, but place your silicone matt underneath the paper first when layering your sandwich (this embosses the image instead of cutting it) adhere to the base card using liquid glue
5. stamp the trees and bird, colour the bird using the blends (crumb cake for the wing, 700 & 800 for the head, ivory for the body)
6. stamp the sentiment using a strip of basic white then flag the one end
