Spill the Lemon Tea

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite small bird?
A: Me? A Hummingbird 

Step #1: I die cut all the little birds from Poppy Stamps 6x6 Sunrise Paper Pad SP1013 in different shades of orange.

Step #2: I assembled the birds and then die cut Poppy Stamps Double Scalloped Stitched Frames Die out of the same shades of orange to match the bird.

Step #3: I stamped the sentiments from the Poppy Stamps Sentimental Banners CB516 and assembled my card with the birds in the center and my sentiments in opposite corners. I used Memory Box 6x6 Gladiola Plaid Paper Pad PP1027 for my background. I finished by adding some bling all around my card.
