Directions:
--Cut the 3 mats to size per list.
--Take the larger Whisper White mat and Emboss it using the Seaside Embossing Folder.
-Use Sponge Daubers and Tranquil Tide Ink to color the embossed piece of cardstock.
--Take the smaller Whisper White mat use sponge daubers to apply Soft Sky ink to the lower third of the card, Smoky slate to the middle third, & Soft Sky to the top third.  Use wavy lines as you sponge these areas to define the tree and mountain sections. Use masking if necessary.
--Then take the Pine Tree stamp with Tranquil Tide ink to stamp the trees - use some 2nd generation stamping.
--Use the Mountain stamp and the Smoky Slate ink to stamp the mountains - also use some 2nd generation stamping here.
-- Use a coordinating strip of Washi Tape as indicated on the card - the tape I used was about 3/4" wide and it is about 3/4" up from the bottom edge of the embossed mat.
--Attach the embossed mat onto the lower part of the card base.
--Then attach the mountain scene to the Mint Macaroon Mat and attach that to the embossed mat - slightly overlapping the strip of Washi tape. 

I did not stamp a sentiment yet for this card, so you can use the sentiment of your choice.  When I do it will be placed on the lower front of the card.  Often I save adding the sentiment until I select the card for mailing.
