For this card I started with a large white card. I gathered my supplies - the bird panel, an orange background, a green textured layer and some coordinating ribbon. I cut the bird out of the cute paper and then cut the orange scalloped circle (Nestibilities)to mat it from the orange background before I adhered it to my card. I added the borders to the bird panel and glued this large element over my background. I adhered the bird to the scalloped circle and decided to trim the corners of the green paper with a corner punch before assembling my focal element. In the process I decided to add the long strip of aqua paper which was on my desk and then added the green layer. Wanting a bit of something to off set the strip I added two lengths of this beautiful red ribbon to the back of my bird before adhering it over the green paper. It was fun to maximize the use of this bird paper. The few leftover scraps might show up in a collage somewhere down the road.
