The background for this card is a stencil but I was not happy with it when I made it and it was placed in the UFO box. This charming bird was stamped and heat embossed and water colored. In looking for some background paper look what appeared and it looks like bird footprints. Next I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and then attached the bird which I had fussy cut. I matted the card in black card stock and then attached to white.
