Made for the DTGD09craftycaro Previous Theme: Anything but Average! challenge. My good friend Debs loves birds and I wanted to send her just a little friendship card. When I saw the challenge was to make a non A2 sized card or a shaped card I immediately thought of my Spellbinders Nesting Birds dies.
I die cut 2 white birds using the largest die, scored a vertical line on the back bird and then glued this piece to the front bird so that the card stands up for display. I was so relieved to find it did stand up LOL!
I die cut a third bird using My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow paper and after sponging on some distress ink I glued this to the front bird. I die cut the medium sized bird in a contrasting paper, trimmed off the tail and beak to make the wing shape and did some more ink distressing. I've glued the top of the wing flat but used 3d foam pads at the bottom of the wing so it has some dimension.
The sentiment has been cut out using a Spellbinders Label Trio die and that has been tucked behind a punched flower shape that is popped up.
