So I totally cased this card SC783 F4A523 Birthday greeting with a Bird by CAKath at Splitcoaststampers from the F4A523 challenge for the WT788 challenge - no stamping. It just really spoke to me with a theme/feel that I need for a card to send to a friend. We are dealing with the loss of a very special friend. I have always loved this DP but have struggled with how to use it, so I was happy to see CAKath's take with the paper and voila no stamping! I embossed the brown BG with a tree pattern and used the same EF for the bird BG but oriented it sideways. Added an additional layer of retired DP under bird to tie the brighter bird image together a bit more with back panels since I used a darker BG. Used the TH edged dies for the main panel and BG. Used edged scissors for the middle panel to get the size I wanted. Popped up using foam tape. Used the Together die cut sentiment as together we are grieving and sad. Cut two sentiments as the brown was too dark overall and I liked the 2 together as part of the underlying message. TFL

Fantastic case. I was just looking at this paper recently. Your colors are soft and soothing. Perfect to use the word together on this sympathy card. So sorry for both of your loss.
