All Occassion "For You" Card

This card just evolved. I started out trying to do one thing, but ended up with something totally different from what I had envisioned.

Materials: 1. 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" Crumb Cake card stock, scored and folded at
4 1/4" to form a top fold card and two 3"x 3" Crumb Cake
squares.

2. 5 1/2" x 2 1/4" Not Quite Navy card stock.

3. 1 3/4" and 2" circle punches.

4. Two pieces of 1/8" Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon, one measuring 4 "and the
other 1 1/2".

5. "Aviary" and "One of a Kind" stamp sets

6. Poppy Parade and Soft Suede Stampin' Write markers and Classic
Ink Pads.


Form the Crumb Cake card base. Punch a 1 3/4" circle on the right side of the Not Quite Navy strip. Glue the ribbon so that it goes to the center of each side of the circle. Tuck ribbons to the back of the card stock and glue.

Stamp the small bird in Poppy Parade on the center of the lower third of the 3" x 3" piece of Crumb Cake. Then stamp the cage over the bird in Soft Suede. Use the Poppy marker to darken the bird and the Soft Suede marker to draw in the cord holding the cage. Sponge Not Quite Navy around the cage. Adhere this square behind he punched out circle so that it is centered. Punch out a 2" Crumb Cake Circle. Then punch out the center of this circle with the 1 3/4" circle Punch. You will end up with a frame to go around your caged bird's window. Finally, stamp the large bird in Poppy Red and Soft Suede, the second bird in Not Quite Navy and Soft Suede and the sentiment in Not Quite Navy at the bottom of the card..
