PERCHED IN A TREE

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Gray cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Gray Granite cardstock was embossed with the Fall Leaf Embossing Folder (it’s back as an Online Exclusive item!)
- The bird and tree limb were stamped with Basic Gray Ink on Basic White cardstock.
