Directions:
--Cut the top and bottom mats to size per list.
--Stamp the Whisper White top mat with the tall pine tree in Tranquil Tide ink - use 1st and 2nd generation stamping to get some contrast.
--Use sponge dauber with Crumb Cake ink to shade the bottom third of the card background.
--Use sponge dauber with Soft Sky ink to shade the top two-thirds of the card background.
--Cut the top mat into 3 sections as shown.
--Cut the Crumb Cake bottom mat into 3 sections (each 1/4" larger then the sections from the top mat) as shown.
---Glue each section together - each piece cut from the top mat onto the corresponding larger piece cut from the bottom mat.
--Glue the sections on top of each other. xxx using Tombow glue.
--Attach the triple mat to the card base using tape runner.
