Supplies for this card are:

Chocolate cardstock cut 3 1/2" x 4" and 3/4" x 5"
Cream cardstock cut 3 3/8" x 3 7/8" and 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Scraps of green, red, gray, and brown cardstock
Distress ink - Bundled Sage, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain, Fired Brick, Weathered Wood
Sponge applicators
CottageCutz dies - Mushrooms and Greenery, Forest Critters, Mushrooms mini, Thank You, Grass with Cattails
Polka-dot patterned paper
To create the card base, lay the green card base into a paper trimmer longways at 3/4". Cut a slit from the 1" mark to the 6 1/4" mark. Move the card base to the other side and repeat. Score outside the slits at the 1", 2" and 6 1/4" mark. Score between the slits at the 5 1/4" mark.
Cut the various small pieces using the dies, using adhesive sheets behind the delicate greenery and sentiment for ease of attaching to the card. I did not need the cattails on the grass pieces, so I trimmed them off.
Sponge the lower edge of the cream panels with green ink. Layer the cream panels to the chocolate panels and adhere to the card base. Color the die cut pieces with distress ink as you desire and adhere the large mushroom, one of the small mushrooms, snails, and greenery to the cream panel as shown on the photo. Adhere the grass pieces, other two mushroom, mouse and hedgehog to the small cream strip, as shown. Place the sentiment in the upper right-hand corner.
Cut two strips of patterned paper 1/2" x 4" and adhere to the side panels as shown. You can place a piece of cream cardstock on the inside if you wish.
Completed card.
Fold at the score lines with a mountain fold at the 1" mark, valley fold at the 2" mark, mountain fold at the 5 1/4" mark, and mountain fold at the 6 1/4" mark, creating the stepped base of the card.
Cut two strips of patterned paper 1/2" x 4" and adhere to the side panels as shown. You can place a piece of cream cardstock on the inside if you wish.
Completed card.
