This is going to sound so bad but this card is for my Pastor. You should know that he has a great sense of humor and picks on me all the time. I think of him and his wife as my Florida Parents (all my family lives in West Virginia). So trust me when I say, he won't be offended.

This is an A2 size card with craft paper as the card base.

The designer background paper was cut at 4.0 X 5.25.

I embossed the designer paper with a wood grain embossing folder and then inked over the embossed image. The buzzard and all his layers were cut at 3.5 inches from the Life's A Party Cricut Cartridge. I have used this cartridge a lot and love all the cuts. The branch is cut from the Gypsy Wandering's Cricut Cartridge. So, let me tell you the supplies I used.

Wal-Mart - @ the office card stock - craft, red, orange, black and grey, Colorbok (Earthtones designer paper) wiggle eyes and glue dots.

Joann's - Tim Holtz Wood Grain Embossing Folder and Martha Stewart Black Ink (inked around the grey circle on the vultures neck)

Stampin Up - Early Espresso and Crumb Cake Ink (inked across the embossed image)

The sentiment on the inside of the card is computer generated.

Again using the @ the office black and red card stock.

The black mat is cut at 4.0 X 5.25.

The red mat is cut at 3.75 X 5.0.

Thanks for visiting me today and happy crafting.
