BG 17: chipboard

I love doing the BG challenges - love working with the papers. Today's challenge is to use chipboard. I stuck some BG paper on this little birdie and then cut round it with my Fiskars fingertip craft knife - I love using this - before I got it I used to hate using a craft knife. I managed to cut the bits in the middle and then distressed using my new BG precision file set (worth buying in my opinion - can get into those little places quite easily).

The papers are BG sugared (I think - have to confess that I had quite a few pads out, took the papers out and used them and now am not 100% sure whether they are from the sugared pad or another one - what I do know is that they are definitely BG!)

When I'd made the card the right side looked a bit bare, so I just cut out four of the flowers and stuck on.
