  4. Stamp the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink on the Whisper White piece. Die cut with the Stitched Rectangles die, if desired.
  5. Attach the Whisper White layer to the Sparkle Glimmer paper. Note: using glue dots or Tear & Tape adhesive usually works better than SNAIL adhesive on glimmer paper.
