Crazy Bird Father's Day Card

Yesterday I cut a Father's Day sentiment on the cricut.  

It was too big for my side fold card. 

Then I cut a second one that fit on the card (see previous post)

 and was left with the first one I had cut and the remainder of the piece of foil paper.  If you stop by regularly, you know that I don't like scraps.  I try to find a use for everything.

Luckily, the first sentiment I cut would fit on a top fold card.

The leftover foil was looking a bit crinkled.  Easy fix.  I just put it 

in an embossing folder and crinkled it in a pattern.  

I decided to pair the blue foil with a neon green card base.

I added the matching green bakers twine across the top, 

but it still needed something....

That's when the very dapper, green plaid crazy bird entered the scene.  Works for me!
