Instructions

This finished card measures 20.8 cm x 14.6 cm. Take the A4 cardstock and fold in half for the card base. Choose the design paper from the paper pad and cut 14 cm x 20.4 cm. 

With the Elegant word background stamp, stamp the background on the design paper. Adhere to the card base with foam tape or foam dots. Stamp, color and die cut the orchids and humming bird, using the water aquarelle paper. 

Cut with the gold cardstock the window frame and tag. With the design paper stamp and die cut the sentiment.  

Adhere one of the orchid sprays, trimming on the left side to fit the shape of the window.

 Adhere the window in place. 

Using foam dots adhere the 2nd orchid spray and tag. 

Above you can see how the die cut is placed over the window.

Under you see all the layering.

Adhere the cut away pieces of the orchid spray to the left of the tag. 

Place and adhere the sentiment and humming bird.

 Sorry the lighting was not that great on the gold, but you get the idea. The real life card is much better than shown in the photo....but that is always the case...2nd...can't be good at everything...lol

Hope you had fun and got some inspiration while visiting my place today.
