This card is for 4 challenges:
1. Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge - SC367;
2. Party Time Tuesday - PTT#50 - Birds;
3. 2 Sisters Challenge Blog - Challenge #73 - Things with Wings; and
4. Simon Says Stamps Challenge - Spots &/or Stripes.
My base card is Kraft, the blue background panel is Core'dinations, cuttlebugged and then sanded. The music panel is from a My Mind's Eye pad, and the birds and sentiment are from Glitz Designs "vintage blue stamps" set. The buttons are a couple of antique buttons I had in my stash, that, even though they don't match, I think they go together really well, and I love them on this card. I "stitched" them with bakers twine, which I separated in half. tfl

I love the affect of the dry embossing-sanding. Really makes your background pop. Use of the designer paper fits perfectly with the song birds. A well thought out card.
