Instructions:

 

Take the smaller ivory card, and blend ‘fossilized amber’ Distress Oxide over entire card.  Next blend ‘spiced marmalade’ through the sunbeam stencil and continue over the ‘fossilized amber’. Starting at the bottom and working your way up, blend ‘worn lipstick’ until it merges with the ‘spiced marmalade’.  Again starting at the bottom, blend ‘fired brick’ about a quarter of the way up until happy with depth of colour.  Finish with a final layer of ‘fossilized amber’ blending all the colours seamlessly.

 

 

From black card and using the Dies, cut two sets of  ‘lavender stems’ and various birds from the ‘birdcage’ die.  Arrange silhouettes and glue into place.

Mat the card front onto ivory, black and folded ivory card to finish as shown.
