I went crazy for this die on one of Sabrina's cards. Naturally, it's not only discontinued, but wasn't available in the US. I was blown away when Sabrina got one for me and sent it from Ireland!!!
The really funny thing is that in this Tickle A Teapotter challenge, I drew Sabrina's name as my recipient. How's that for karma???
I pulled many black & white print papers out of my stash. I tried several designs (yes, multiple cards were generated). This design was perfect for using the bird die. There are a pile of trial birdies on my desk from auditioning various colors and papers. The Al Fresco (one of my favorite fancy papers) won. I made a template for cutting the triangles, and cut one of each of 4 papers. Covered the card base with the black & white dot paper, then added the triangle corners. Mounted the bird on the card, then inlaid it's wings with little bits of holographic mirror card from die cutting another of the birds. Accented the bird with red Dazzle Dots, and added both dots and red flower Dazzles to the points of the diamond shape. Finally, although it doesn't show too much, took a Real Red marker and colored the beak on the bird.
I had great fun making this one, and am delighted to be sending it to Sabrina.
