"take Flight" & "spread your Wings" Card - My First Gate Fold Card

The "take Flight" & "spread your Wings" Card is my first Gate Fold Card I've created. Watched a video Tues night on how to make one. Made a white cardstock base one for first try. Cut it correctly but my scoring was not correct. Second attempt using white cardstock cut correctly & scored correctly. My first idea was to make a green gate Fold Card but had no idea what I would use on the card. Went to bed. When I got up Wed morn I decided to use light blue & have a bird theme using my PaperTrey Ink stamps 'birds of a feather' that I bought recently but had not used.
