Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of brown 12x12 textured cardstock to 8.5" x 5.5". Score at 4.25" and fold to form an A2 card. Set aside.
2. Use the Grand Forest Archway Die to cut the same brown cardstock used for the A2 card.
3. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp Foxy Roxy twice –– once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
4. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and set aside.
5. Use Copic markers to color the Foxy Roxy and the ground.
6. Place low-tack tape across the bottom of the image panel.
7. Place the fussy-cut sticker paper version of Foxy Roxy over its counterpart on the image panel.
8. Use the Copic Airbrush System and B21 markers to add the sky background. Sweeping the airbrush horizontally creates a cloudy blue sky.
9. Remove the mask over Foxy Roxy.

15. Place a piece of Sookwang tape onto a piece of vellum. Remove the covering and fold the vellum to cover the tape's adhesive.

17. Use the "FALL" die to cut brown cardstock.
18. Adhere "FALL" die-cut to the vellum speech bubble.

21. Color the oak leaves with Copic markers.
22. Use Quickie Glue Pen to adhere the tiny oak leaves as desired.
23. Adhere the sentiment Speech Bubble as shown and adhere a tiny oak leaf to it.
