All occasion card featuring a paper pieced decorative paper background, embossed vellum, a stitched strip and a fussy cut bird


 For this card, I created a pieced background using a variety of coordinating paper scraps.  A log cabin look on the left hand side and several strips added to the right to make it the correct size for my dark brown card.  I embossed (CB) a torn piece of vellum and secured all my elements by stitching down a strip of brown over the top of them.  I adhered this to my card and then watercoloured my bird (CLKER) to coordinate.  Not the right colouring for a chickadee but that it the way art goes sometimes!!  Therese
