Step 2: Cut out the circle shape. The easiest way to do this is to poke a hole in the center and then cut around your stencil line.

Step 5: Using the Gel Medium, glue a Chipboard bird to the top edge of your circle and another to your other page. Glue your face focal image down to your under page on the right-hand edge so that it will create a contrast to your bird.
