Bird and Flower Waterfall with Embellishments

It's so long since I made waterfall cards, I had forgotten how lovely they are. For this card I cut out all of the elements and assembled the waterfall.

I backed an A6 card blank with a co-ordinating spotty paper which I also used to back the waterfall pieces as it's much prettier than leaving them white.

I attached the extra ribbon as the "pull" mechanism, covered my brads with the extra button toppers and made two pink banners.

The first "a little birdie told me..." I stuck at the top of the card. The second "it's your birthday" is revealed as the waterfall is pulled.

That leaves me two small birds to use on my card insert. Lovely result.
