Funny bird friendship or masculine card with vellum softness

Hi friends. Welcome to my blog, it's Gaylynn. Sometimes, less is more in card making. I am sharing a funny bird friendship or masculine birthday card. This one was made using simple paper layers, plus added vellum softness. No coloring is needed for this card. It was made to work for anyone for funny birthday occasions. The products featured are from Little Weirdo stamps. I have included the project steps, a short video and supplies below.

To begin, here is a look at the finished card.
Sentiment: Aging is weird. You're doing great.

Helpful Tips:

1. Precut and score a vertical white card base 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

2. Select background paper from Chillin' 6x6 patterned paper pad and trim layers using a paper trimmer.

3. Stamp the bird and the sentiment onto different vellum pieces using permanent ink like Staz On in black. Dry the stamping.

4. Trim the stamped vellum, a white cardstock panel and the blue background, each 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

5. Optional: Add brown marker or dye ink color along the edges of the patterned paper cuts.

6. Trim a double-sided adhesive sheet 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", and a piece larger than the sentiment die.

7. Peel away one side of the adhesive sheet layer.

8. To add softness, apply the stamped vellum face up over the sticky side of the double-sided adhesive sheet. Do the same for the sentiment panel. Press over the adhesive to get a smooth, soft look.

9. Peel away the backing from the adhesive sheet and apply the bird panel over the trimmed white cardstock panel.

10. Trim the vellum bird vellum panel 2 1/2" x 5 1/4".

11. Die-cut the vellum sentiment panel using Scallop Sentiment Dies cut to your sentiment size.

12. Layer and adhere the background patterned paper layers over the card base, using flat double-sided tape or glue.

13. Do the same for the vellum sentiment panel.
