Fold the larger piece of soft suede along to score line and stamp the birds image all over the front in early espresso ink. Round two opposite corners. Round the same corners of the basic white card Stock and sponge the edges lightly with ealry espresso ink. Add this to the inside of the card.

Sponge the edges of the DSP and the 1/4" strips lightly with early espresso ink. Adhere the strips evenly onto the DSP Panel and add this to the card. Trim off any overhang. Add this to the card front slightly over from the left hand edge.

Round the corners of the Crumb cake piece and then stamp a bird on branches image in to the centre. Sponge the edges again with early espresso ink. Add this to the centre of the card front with dimensionals.

On scrap of crumb cake stamp the sentiment and cut out using the smooth oval from the double oval punch. Keep the sentiment off the the right. Sponge lightly, then layer to a scallop oval from early espresso. Add this to the top right hand corner, tucking some of it under the panel slightly.

Stamp five flowers onto crumb cake in early espresso, once the ink has dried colour with melon Mambo blends then fussy cut. Dot these around the card. 

Colour in pearls with the soft suede blends and add one to each flower centre.
