A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hello crafters! I started with a piece of white card and used the Double Stitched Circle dies to cut two offset apertures into the card. I used the Scalloped Circle dies to add frames around both of them. I added a white backing piece behind the apertures. I cut the Parrot and the Toucan to go into the apertures. I cut the Parrot in white and use markers to colour it. I added it with mounting foam to the top apertures, then accented it with greenery and a couple of small flowers. I cut the Toucan out of black, yellow and orange card and assembled the pieces. I added another sprig and greenery and fliwers to the edge of the aperture. I cut the Happy Bird Day in black and glued it to the uper left side of the card with a small flower and leaves. I cut the Dear Friend sentiment in black and glued it in the opposite corner with a flower anf leaves. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, I loved this card on launch. The colours of the birds and flowers are a great contrast to the clean white background and together they make a beautiful card.
