My card is for the StampinB challenge #9
to use a photo on your card. How fun that is!! You should go over to their challenge each week.
This is a photo of a wall painting in my craft room. My craft room is upstairs and I call it "THE NEST" so I decided this would be pretty painted on my wall. The 'Ben Ben' is a name my little cousin gave me when she could not say my name. It stuck and all my nieces and nephews have called me that. Then, I took my SCS name from that. I guess I have a lot
of names.
I attached photo, added ribbon and buttons inside and out, stamped my little birds, colored and punched with a 3/4" punch and put on dimensionals.
Inside I punched some rock fern and cut out a little bird and popped up. The greenery at the beginning of my name is much larger than it looks. The angle of my pic made it small.

I never would have guess that was a photo. I call my husband Ben Ben sometimes, but his name is Ben so that's not all that original or cute as your story. Beautiful card! TFS

Hi Ben Ben - what a really cute story - I LOVE your card. What a neat challenge. You did such a great job with it. Can't believe that's a photo either. Love all the bird details. Love the ribbon and button and the little birds in the circles with the b/g. Great job!! TFS!
