Flying Finch

 Morning and my 2nd DT post today is for the Masculine challenge at Pearly Sparkles.

I used a new fold to me Flying Finch found here.I found 2 tutorials Flying Finch and Flying Seagull (to come lol )which is slightly larger.

It looks complicated but TBH I found it pretty easy the papers I used are Blooming Grunge from Craft and You backed onto kraft card.I made this for my BIL who used to work in a shipyard.
