A friend and I have had such busy schedules that we haven't seen each other for almost three months. She has an African gray parrot, so I thought it would be fun to make this card for her. The inside says "I have really missed you!"
I made the parrot using the 2 step bird punch. I found some paper with green leaves from who knows where and how many years ago. I punched it out with the Top Note die, then trimmed it along the perforation line and mounted it to red piece that I also punched with the Top Note die. I used the "weave" texture pad for the background solid green paper. I mounted the Top Note pieces on dimensionals, then popped the sentiment up with more dimensionals. The sentiment is computer generated.
I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for looking.

Nancy, this is totally one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Wow! Impressive! I love it! I hadn't thought of doing this but now I want to try it and try to do a Cockatiel - my mother raised them for years. Fun, fun, fun and into my favs.

I wish I had seen this before - I tried to make a parrot with that bird punch and it never came out right. Yours is wonderful!!! Great card.
