BBTB2 Things that Fly in Nature

This week at BBTB2 we're featuring cards made with nature cuts of things that fly.  That means you can use any Cricut cartridge to cut anything that you would see flying in nature--birds, bees, butterflies, etc.  I used a bird that I cut from the Gypsy Font cartridge.  I used patterned papers from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary Jack and Jill 6x6 paper stack.  I love the bright, fun, happy colors in this stack.  They just make me smile.  I cut the flower border from one of the papers and added it to my blue background paper with a small red strip behind the top of the flowers so they would pop out more.  Then I cut an envelope from the Don Juan cartridge.  All the papers in this stack are double-sided which worked to my advantage when I cut the envelope so the green print is on the outside and the stripe is on the inside of the envelope.  I tied a piece of twine around the envelope before attaching it to my card.  Then I cut my birds in assorted sizes and papers to come flying out of the envelope.  My sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps Ticket Talk stamp set and stamped with Momento Ink in red.  I cut a scalloped circle from Mini Monograms and attached the sentiment then added some doodling around the edges with my Signo white gel pen.
