If you start with beautiful Designer Paper, it’s easy to make a card you will love. This Bird Ballad DSP remains a favorite.
I began by cutting a 4 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ section of DSP, careful to have three full birds, and one that I could place in a circle.
Next, I cut Whisper White Cardstock, the same size, and glued the two together. Then, I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Die for cutting, giving me even edges, and well placed birds.
Before gluing my DSP to the Thick Whisper White card base, I used a Layering Circles Die to cut the pink bird from the DSP. Then, I used a Layering Circles Die with a scalloped edge, to cut a backing for the pink bird, from Thick Whisper White Cardstock.
I also taped Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the back, and tied a double bow on the front.
“It’s your day!” is from the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die.
My inspiration was from CAS(E) this sketch.

I love your style of card-making! So many of your cards are so beautifully elegant. I open your email first thing in the morning! This one is just lovely. I send a card to a sweet friend of mine every single week who is not doing well physically in the least…..This will be the card this week.
