Cut the top card layer in squares and position over your base layer of Chocolate Kiss.  Be sure to allow your Base layer to show through around each square.  I had some extra space  in the middle so I applied a brown ribbon with a layer of green ribbon. Layer your base layer to your  card base and apply your  top layer and focal image.  Apply  green embellishments.  

I hope you enjoyed this fun little wizard card!   Thank you for stoping by and come back soon,  I will post a  picture of a Stampscape image in a couple days.  The link will send you to a detailed tutorial for my Stampscape card!
