This card uses some of my very favorite things: birds or chicks, Basic Grey "Pheobe" paper, the colors and the Rhonna Farrer flourishes. Adding the piercing was the perfect finishing touch. I used the paper piercer from the "Paper Craft Tool Kit" (the Punch Bunch) - this tool kit is one of my go-to items for piercing, scoring, dry embossing, and it has the perfect tool for manipulating flowers, leaves, etc. into 3D items. If any of you have the Leone Em punch books, you'll know the tool I'm referring to.
Edited to add: I neglected to give credit for the sketch to Tami Mayberry (Card Positioning Systems). The card is based on sketch CPS#9. I truly apologize, Tami, and thanks for the inspiration. Her sketches (which are available for download) can be seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/TamiMayberry/CPSSketches#
