Birthday Birds


 A bit of embossing, a bit of scrappiness, limited palette, a bit of bling and some birthday wishes.

I started with a blue panel and random white strips arranged in a zigzag pattern, then embossed it (EF is Ultimate Crafts).  Matted on a darker blue with distressed edges.  Diecut birds and sentiment, and some bling.

A wonderful card Carol - and is your scrap pile any smaller now?

Carol, I know your scrap pile has grown. LOL You can get rid of something and then a minute later, acquire more scraps. You could send this to a guy or gal. I'm so glad you joined our Die Cut Divas' challenge of making a Birthday Card.

Sadly no, the scrap pile just keeps growing. I reckon they breed in the dark.
