Just Because Card (Part 4)

The next card goes to my sister. She is in college and I do not think I have sent her a card whos EVER! Which is not acceptable, so I am rectifying esta by making this "Spring" hello card. My sister is Currently in her 3rd year of nursing school and working very hard. I am extremely proud of her. Here is the card. 

I started by punching out strips of esta scalloped punch from Fiskars.

 I embossed a beige cardstock a little smaller than the current card.

          I glued the strips, then a cut off the excess on the sides. 

I added some twine and made a bow, I secured it using some glossy accent glue. 

I stamped two of the same birds on cardstock.

        Then I cut them both as you see bellow. I glued the yellow part using 3D foam squares to add dimension to the card.
