Welcome back! 

How funky is the Everyday Essentials range of dies? 

They are so versatile. 

Today I've used the 2 Tags and Bird Branch set to create this card.

1/Pick three sheets of patterned paper to be your background mat. Cut the largest to 6" x 4" and the next two each slightly smaller than that.

2/ Using a sponge dauber, apply some brown ink through a stencil onto the smallest mat. Ink all the edges of the three sheets in brown ink and distress the edges. Use double sided tape to stick them together.

3/ Cut one of the larger tag dies and cut that in half long ways. Ink the edges in brown.

4/ Cut the smaller tag die in a neutral colour and ink edges in brown. Mount this on some spare cardboard so it will be raised.

5/ Cut the bird from green paper.

6/ Cut a banner shape from red paper. Cut the two sentiments from patterned paper.

7/ Adhere the banner strip first, then slide the two halves of the large tag just under the edges and stick down.

8/ Adhere a length of ribbon down the center of the banner. Adhere the sentiments over the ribbon to help keep it in place.

9/ Adhere the bird branch to the small tag and then the small tag to the center of the card.

10/ Apply pearls as in the photo and you're done!
