Tuesday Tutorial - Dies and Birds !!

Hi Everybody,

I thought I would have a little fun today with the Crazy Birds and I sat and coloured some with bright water colours for this card.  I add them to some ornate dies cuts and the result would be ideal for a male birthday card
Spellbinders Supplies
  • S$-383 Marvellous Squares
  • 6x6 Matting basics A
  • 6x6 Matting Basics B
  • Platinum die cutting and embossing machine
Other Supplies:
  • Crazy Birds
Instructions:
With die =7 from Matting Basics A cut two pieces in white to create a base card
With die #7 from Matting Basics B cut another layer in grey 
With die =6 from the A set cut another in some patterned paper
Cut a smaller layer in another pattern and distress the edges with your scissors.
Glue these layers together
With dies #4 and 5 cut three frames and layer them together with glue
Add the smaller distressed panel to the base with foam pads underneath 
Add the layered squares to the card front with foam pads cut into strips under them
Add a Crazy Birds of your choice to a die cut circle and carefully cut around part of the wing to tuck the sentiment under it
Layer up the other birds to fit around the central image
Add to the card front with foam pads underneath to raise them up.
And there you have a fun card that would be suitable for the men in your life

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
