All occasion card featuring a fussy cut bird layered over a background featuring hand decorate paper, vellum and stitching

 This card was another on the same theme as the others I made earlier!!  I chose a neutral decorative paper, stamped leaves all over in a soft green ink and then added watercolour in green and brown to make a unique pattern.  While it was drying, I found some vellum scraps in gold and red which I tore and layered to make a decorative layer on my background. I layered it on my background, added an embossed strip of brown cardstock which I stitched on through all the layers.  Everything was then nicely secured!!  I added some faux stitching to the vellum afterwards by sliding a cutting mat under the vellum and running my pattern tracing wheel over several times.  I fussy cut  the bird (Supercolouring) and coloured it to coordinate with my card!!  Love how it worked out!!!  Therese
