Free As A Bird - Patchwork Card - Video Tutorial

Today's Video will show you how I created these lovely Patchwork cards :o)

I've been playing with my Free As A Bird stamp set and Bird Ballad paper :o) So much so that I had a pile of small scrappy bits saved that I didn't want to throw away - this paper is just too gorgeous!

So .... my card was born. The inspiration came from a design layout over at Pagemaps. 

I dug out my Basic Black marker and had a play with some faux stitching .... it's been a while since I did this! 

This card was my first attempt at colouring these super sweet birds on a branch. I had to cut one off ... but I managed to save him, so will no doubt use him on another card somehow ... somewhen :o) 

This is the card I create in the Video. 

I changed the main colour for this one, switching from the Pool Party to Daffodil Delight. The flowers this time were Calypso Coral - in the first card they were Petal Pink.

 The sentiment was cut out using one of the Smooth Sailing dies.

Here is the Video ...
