Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of the yellow cardstock to 5½” x 8 ½”, score vertically down the center and fold to make card base.
2. Cut a 5 ½” x 3 ¾” piece of the blue patterned paper, then trim ¼” off of the 5 ½” edge using the scallop blade.
3. Cut a piece of GlueFilmTM slightly smaller than the blue paper, position it on the front of the yellow card, then use the craft iron to iron the blue paper to the card base. 
   
4. Cut a piece of the brown patterned paper slightly larger than the tree branch chipboard, then iron it to the chipboard using another piece of GlueFilmTM.  Use a craft knife to trim away the excess paper once it has cooled, and ink the edges of the branch with the Espresso Inkpad.  Do the same thing with the chipboard bird and wing using the yellow cardstock.
5. Stamp the bird and wing shapes using the Butterscotch inkpad and the swirl and leaf stamps, then embellish them using the white pen.  Ink the edges of the shapes with the inkpad.  Add a rhinestone for the bird’s eye using tacky glue.
6. Stamp the sentiment along the bottom edge of the card using the Butterscotch ink, then embellish it with the white pen.  Ink the edges of the card using the Butterscotch inkpad.
7. Cut a few pieces of GlueFilmTM slightly smaller than the branches, lay them on the back of the branches, heat them with the heat gun, then quickly press the branch into place on the card.  Attach the bird, wing and flowers in the same manner.
