Tips from the show

• You can leave some die-cut elements slightly raised rather than gluing them flat for added dimension.
• Layer foliage naturally so pieces overlap, just as they would in nature, rather than spacing them evenly.
• You don't have to use all the die-cut pieces from the set; select only what works for your design.
