I then die cut a further piece in white and adhered to the front of the card gluing at the bottom.  I then took a smaller Tonic die and cut two pieces of the backing paper. On one of these pieces I die cut the patterned edge before adding to my card.

I glued the image onto a piece of black card and fussy cut around her before adhering to the front of my card using foam tape.

Finally, I die cut another small piece of white card and backing paper, then added the sentiment to the centre of this which formed the stopper for my easel.
