I would say that this card is a little involved because of the the paper strips used to make the background. I die cut a dome arch out of card stock. Using a paper trimmer I cut strips of blue card stock and layered them ontop of the arch to create the striped background. Its a great way to use up left over card stock! I then adhered it to a gray piece of card stock I cut a bit smaller to fit an A2 size card base with a bit of a white border. I then die cut the pieces of the birdie and ink blended it with shades of red and pinks of distress ink. I added it to the top of the die cut sentiment that I popped up with some foam adhesive.
