2. Die cut the Nature Scene Die from black cardstock.

3. Die cut stitched circle die from white cardstock and trim approximately 1.5cm from the bottom. Die cut the sentiments from Cut-a-Part Sheet using Cut-a-Part Essentials #5 and #6 dies.

4. Stamp and colour the images with the colouring medium of your choice – I used Copic markers. Die cut or fussy cut the images once complete.

5. Assemble the card by adhering the blended background piece to your card base, with the stitched circle in the centre. Use foam mounts to adhere the nature scene to the front. Finish the card by foam mounting the stamped images and the sentiments.
