 Adhere the ¾” x 4” piece of DSP to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White Cardstock.  Adhere this to the inside of the card.  Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the card front.  Use Memento Black ink to stamp the outline strawberry image onto the bottom portion of the 2 ½” x 3 ½” piece of Basic White (put the top of the strawberry toward the bottom of the cardstock so it will fit correctly into the punch).  Use Poppy Parade ink to stamp the solid inside stamp of the strawberry onto the outline strawberry image.  Punch out using the Strawberry Builder Punch.  Use Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the strawberry stem outline (with the stem facing to the left) on the remaining portion of the 2 ½” x 3 ½” piece of Basic White cardstock.  Use Granny Apple Green ink to stamp the solid portion of the stem onto the outline.  Punch out using the Strawberry Builder Punch.
