Birthday Bird

 


Adding to my stash of birthday cards.  This time a masculine style.

The background uses an embossing folder that I bought to get fishy scales, but after a bit of a think, it's also like feathers!  The die shape is Simon Says Stamps squaoval nesting cut to a wonky frame and laid it over some repurposed gold wrapping paper.  The Happy Birthday die is an old Poppy Stamps one, I love the wacky font. The branch is Memory Box.  The Spellbinders raven/crow is all different shades of brown (the bird is not black! but is a very dark chocolate brown), kraft and a dark cream used.  A gold many layered thread bow.

This one is so different Carol, but it's incredible. Love the browns and golds together.
