This is one of the most fun papers that I found in the stash of papers that my sister left here a while back. I have made several cards with it before and I am nearing the end of all this cuteness! I started with a large white card which fits in the envelopes she has on hand. I added a large orange layer and then worked on getting the other elements ready. The borders were on the edges of a 12" x 12" sheet and had been trimmed off in a previous session. The coordinated nicely. I took several small pieces of the bird paper to create my central element after I had trimmed out my little red bird (Nestiblilities). I then added the borders on each side. The borders were embellished with my pattern wheel before being glued down. I die cut a scalloped circle (Nestibilities) from the same coordinating orange paper. I adhered it over the birdie strip but it did not pop quite as much as I wanted it to so I added the two little strips of orange which were sitting on my cutting table. That framed it nicely and was an improvement. Thinking it still needed something red to coordinate with the glittery red bird I went looking for something in my stash. I found these bright red maple leaf embellishments which were just the right colour. I added them to my card using large glue dots. That was much better!! Therese
