Instructions:
- Score Real Red card stock; adhere basic black layer on top
- Run the piece of Smoky Slate layer through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling folder and also cut the bow from the Balloon Framelits with the Red Glimmer Paper and set aside
- Randomly stamp Craft White ink with the speckle stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and lightly sponge around the Smoky Slate edge.
- Ink the Hardwood stamp with Smoky Slate ink and stamp the Whisper White card stock. Punch notches as shown for a “fence” look with the Tree punch. (As an option, snip with paper snips to create the same effect.) Sponge lightly with Smoky Slate ink for added dimension on the fence and around the edges.
- Ink the Pine Bough stamp from the **Wonderland set with the Always Artichoke and Early Espresso markers and add to the “fence.” You will do this twice as shown to connect the boughs. Add dimensionals to the back of the fence layer and adhere to the Smoky Slate layer.
- Punch the bird and wing with the scrap of Real Red card stock and sponge around the edge with Archival Basic Black ink. Add the wing to the bird with a dimensional.
- Attach the bow from Step #2 and place on the fence to connect the pine boughs. Place several dimensionals on the back and adhere on the Smoky Slate layer.
- Place the bird on the fence, and depending on the direction of your bird, sponge a circular “moon” in the upper left or right with the Craft Whisper White ink.
- Sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the moon and add a small Basic Rhinestone to the bird for an eye.
