Banner Birthday Card

Created this Banner Birthday Card using an embossing folder and embellishments.

Used Kraft americana red Kraft/Kraft striped cardstock for base, Kraft cardstock for layer, red Kraft cardstock for layer and red Kraft cardstock for banner sentiment tag. May use Kraft cardstock but not red next time for banner sentiment tag.

Used Cuttlebug Birthday Bash to emboss the layer. Used balloon stickers & string as embellishment. Used red star brads for embellishment. Used two 3mm wiggle eyes for bird's eyes. Used Christmas Crafts feathers for bird feathers.
