Elegant Bird Card

I have not used this Elegant Bird Die since spring and the Champagne Glimmer paper seemed a perfect fit.  I needed 2 wings so I made 2 Elegant Bird cards for 2 of my Dear Great Aunts. 

The card base is Naturals White Card Stock cut 5 1/2 X 4 1/4.  Cut another piece 5 1/4 X 4 for the mat.  I stamped the Sentiment from Greetings of the Season in Early Expresso classic ink.  The Fancy Fan embossing folder was inked with Crumb Cake classic ink.  Ink the folder on the top side, so the embossing pushes up.  Rinse the embossing folder under running water and pat dry.  I LOVE this technique!!  Adhere mat to card base.  I tied a strip of Early Expresso tulle around the Bird and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Simply elegant!  And not all the fuss and muss of using glitter.  This Glimmer paper can be punched and cut with ease.  Champagne is only available until Jan. 2nd!!  So add that to your list!
