Instructions: This card measures 8 1/2” x 6 3/4” (21cm x 17.5cm) when completed. Taking the white card stock, make a tent fold card by cutting 2 of the above measurements. Scoring from the top the width of one of the cards, this will be the back part of the card base. Adhere the double sided tape to this area. When the card is completed remove the protection tape and adhere both card pieces together. You can make a larger card this way without wasting a lot of card stock.

Taking the sepia ink and the sentiment stamps used for this card, stamp to the left of the card front. Adhere the card front to the card base using 3D foam tape.

Bring colour to the elements and shaping the leaves and wisteria by using the flower shaping tools. Taking the grasshopper ink and inking tool, bring the colour to one of the cages. Adhere all the cages together. Using the hydra sponge apply clear drying glue to the cage then sprinkle glitter over it. When dry adhere to the card front.
Arrange the flowers and leaves along the top of the cage, trimming the flower from the bird away and using it to the left of the cage. Adhere the bird in the leaves to the right of the arrangement. When all is secured apply the clear crystal to the bird and the diamond stickle to the flower tops.
