I first embossed the background white piece and then used some new border dies I picked up at a Stamp store over in Missouri. Applied the emboss piece to some paper and added my ribbon securing it to just the back of my paper so that I could take a separate piece of ribbon to tuck under and the tie a bow to the top, I like the ruffle effect that gave to the bottom piece of ribbon. The stamp was in the same set as the embossing folder from a card making magazine, after stamping I added a little color to the bird with my sparkle pen.
