when using layering dies (1) is the smallest

Start with a base card 14.5 x 29 scored at 14.5 & 16.5, white layer 13 x 9, dsp 4 x 10

1. adhere the dsp to the base card using liquid glue
2. add the bakers twine and tie a bow, then adhere this section down using liquid glue, so the card opens at the second scoreline
3. die cut the white layer
4. position the stamps and ink up with basic gray, then stamp (using second generation)
5. put a very small amount of calypso coral onto an ink block, squeeze a small blob of wink of stella onto the block and mix together then paint the dress and let it dry (make sure to clean the brush throughly) 
6. colour the rest of the girl
7. very lightly colour the net using the basic gray watercolor pencil
8. now use the blends to colour the butterflies
9. attach this layer to the base card using dimensional pads
