Layer four:
To make the star card shape, lay layer one on to a flat surface as if it is a diamond shape.
Making sure that the card base opens on the right.
Then attach layer two at the normal angle.
Next turn the layers so that two points are at the bottom and level.
Attach layer three at the normal angle.

Layer five:
Colour in the digital image Fairy Tale Mushroom House. I used Promarker pen.
I coloured in the top of the mushroom and the larger flower on one of the digital images and then decoupaged them on to the other digital image.
