Watch the video to see how to cut the pretty wreath and added the bird and flowers. I layered it on a piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.

On the inside, stamp sentiment (from Happiest Of Birthdays Stamp Set) with Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp 2 small branches and leaves with Soft Suede and Pear Pizzazz Inks, stamping off the leaves on scrap first to get a lighter shade.
