Instructions:
Score and burnish the card base.
Using the Hexagon punch, punch 2 pieces from Garden Green cardstock. Punch 4 pieces from the DSP. Be sure to capture some of the bird images in a few of the punches.
Take the 2 Garden Green pieces and emboss them with the Forever Plaid embossing folder.
Lay out your hexagon pieces on the 5 1/4" x 4" piece of basic white. Some of these pieces will be outside the Basic White layer. Once you are satisfied with your placement, attach the pieces with double-sided adhesive.
Turn the layer over and trim off the pieces that overhang the layer.
Attach the layer to the Cumb Cake card base.
Using the piece of Basic White, stamp your sentiment using Garden Green ink, and die cut using the Nested Dies.
Using the next largest die, die cut a piece of Crumb Cake. Cut this piece in half horizontally. Attach each piece to the top and bottom of the Basic White die cut, using double-sided adhesive.
Die cut a small bough from the Gold scrap. Die cut a large bough from the Garden Green scrap. Adhere these to the back of the label using double-sided adhesive. Layer the gold bough on first, then the Garden Green bough.
Attach this center-right of the card front using dimensionals.
Color 2 rhinestones using Dark Cherry Cobbler Blends. Attach one to each end of the sentiment layer.
Stamp your sentiment of choice on the inside.
You are done!
