Today's card is for the monthly ProCraftinators Club hope that I participate in over on Instagram. This is a group of crafter that sign up for classes and events but don't do the projects the day of but instead months and even years later. If that is you feel free to join us.

This card uses products by Spellbinders from the 2025 Spring Crop & Create event put on by Scrapbook & Cards Today. The fall event which I signed up for is coming up in September, so I am trying to finish the spring one.
To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of Orchid cardstock. I ran the Orchid through my machine with the Bamboo Screen embossing folder and the ink bended some Violet ink over it. 
I cut the cockatoo, flowers and leaves and assembled them accordingly.
