Thank you for joining my blog! Layout a 12"x12" lush labyrinth, a 12"x12" resplendent plumage. Cut a journaling card 6" x 4" add adhesive, then apply in the upper left corner with a 1/4" border on the top left. Cut green cardstock 5"x 3 3/4", add adhesive, then horizontally center under the journaling card 1/4" down from the journaling card.

Cut green cardstock 3 3/4"x3 3/4". Then center 1/4" from the bottom of the page, and from the other green frame that is on the left of the page. Cut green cardstock 4 1/2"x 3 1/2", add adhesive, and turn vertical leaving a border of 1 1/4" from top of the page on the right border 3/4". Completing the left page.

Begin the right page. Place the 12x12 background page on a self-healing mat to use the Exacto knife. Cut the upper left corner of the paper. Cut the outline edge of the frilly orchid petal with an Exacto knife only cut the edge of the petal to fit the vertical green cardstock that is cut 3 1/2'' x 2 1/2". Put adhesive on the back of the green cardstock. Not on the back of the orchid petal, as a picture will be slid under petal and centered on the green cardstock.

With the designer paper on the self-healing mat use an Exacto knife to cut the head, beak, throat, and back of the outline of the large bird on the right of the page to fit the horizontal 5"x 3 1/2" green cardstock. Add adhesive to the cardstock slide behind the bird leaving a 1/4" border from the top and a 1/2" border from the right. No adhesive on the back of the bird, as a picture will be centered on the green cardstock later.

Add foam tape to the back of the 3"x4". Then adhere vertical 1 1/4" border from the bottom of the page, 3 1/4" border from the right side of the page, 5 3/4" border from the left side of the page.
