2. The DSP used for the bottom half of the second layer is then added, covering a little DSP already affixed to the Rose Red cardstock
3. Wrap grosgrain ribbon around the front of the layers and glue to the back  (covers the lines where the two different DSP meet.)
4. The layers are then glued to the card base
