Clean & Simple Nests of Winter

I was looking for ideas using just the Nests of Winter DSP that is still in the Annual Catalog! I had used this DSP on another card for my Senior gals, and they loved it! I found this one that cuts one of the DSP sheets into circles, mounts them on Black, and then arranges them on a card. I love how it turned out!

Measurements:

Gray Granite 1/2 sheet, 5/8" strip (sentiment)
Basic Black: 3 1/8" x 5 1/4", 2 1/8" strip (for 3 circles), 3/4" strip (sentiment)
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Nests of Winter DSP: 2 7/8" x 5", 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip(birch trees), 3 selected birds

To Make This Card:

Adhere DSP piece to corresponding Black Layer. Add to front of folded Gray Granite card base.
Select 3 "birds" from the sheet with the smaller birds. Die cut with only Layering Circles. (The birds fit better with these dies. However, no stitching).
Mount onto a black circle cut from the next size Layering Circle.
Add circles to front of card with Dimensionals. Adhere the top and bottom, as shown, and then add the center one. It will overlap the other 2 just a bit.
Stamp sentiment onto strip of Gray Granite, trim to size, and mount onto black strip.
Finish inside with White layer and strip of DSP.
Finish the front with retired Black Dots.
