I cut two leafy sprigs from the scrap Pretty Peacock card using the Greenery Lane Dies. I added them with a little Liquid Adhesive to the stamped panel, angled to the upper left and lower right corners and with some leaves not adhered down. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer and then to the Smoky Slate card front.

Using the Nested Essentials Dies I die cut two labels, the larger from the Strawberry Slush card and the smaller from the 5” by 2½” piece of Basic White card.  Glued the Strawberry Slush label to the embossed Gray Granite layer and wrapped a length of White Baker’s Twine around the whole piece and glued the panel to the Gray Granite card front.

With the embossed (raised side) facing down I dragged the Crumb Cake ink pad across the panel. Next, I dragged the Pecan Pie ink and across the panel and finally the Early Espresso ink pad. This builds up the depth of colour and gives the burnt look to the background.
