You will not see this once the cherry blossoms are adhered. The colors used for the diamond base are: 096 Mid Gray, 075 Brick Beige. 230 Pale Rose, 046 Mid Green. Use the 3D Cherry Blossom Shaping Mold to bring shape to all the elements that the mold is made for. If you do not own this mold, you can use the shaping tools to bring dimension to the elements.

The large flower centers use three ½ stamens, for the smaller use one-½ stamen. Taking the old paintbrush and clear drying glue, apply a little glue to the flower petals then dip into the glitter. Put aside to dry, shake the excess glitter off then the flowers are ready to use. For the leaves stamp and die cut 7 leaf sets, use the Zig pens: 046 Mid Green, 043 Olive Green to bring color to the leaves.

To make the birds, birdhouse and hanging sign: Taking the white cardstock, stamp and die from the Cheery Blossom Retreat and Tweet Cherry Blossom stamp and die sets.

To put the card and elements together: Adhere the diamond base to the lace frame by using the 3D foam dots. Adhere all the flowers and leaves in their place by using the hot glue gun. Once all the flowers are adhered in place trim away any of the original pansy stamping if showing under the Blossom flowers. Trim the leaves away to make room for the Cherry blossom leaves. Adhere these too with the hot glue gun. Adhere the hanging sign and the hanging birdcage in its place using the 3D foam dots. Cluster the flowers and birds on the sign and birdhouse.
