  • Cut label border at the bottom. Ink edges and adhere to card.
  • Bend a bit the die-cut image, adhere foam tape in the middle and adhere to card. Add a touch of glue on top and bottom of image, press and let it dry.
  • Add Diamond glaze to the Cardinal and let it dry.
  • Adhere Diamond and Gold stickles to the mailbox.
