This color challenge was to use Real Red, Garden Green and Mango Melody with a dessert option to use designer paper.
I could NOT find my bird builder punch after looking everywhere. I finally gave up and went on eBay. After shipping charges, I paid double for the punch. Guess what? I found mine when I was putting the other one away. Now I have TWO!!! I'm determined to use them now, so you will see a lot of punched birds from me now. LOL!! Thanks for taking a peek!

Great card! I can relate to the whole “can’t find it, bought another” scenario as it’s happened to me. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your bird cards!

First your card is beautiful. Your cards are all so clean and neat appearing. Love the added ribbon and the bird is fantastic. Isn't it nice to be able to let out your frustrations to a group of people who can relate. We all have made the mistake of loosing something and having to buy it again. Hugs Fav'd

Ha! You have two and stupidly, I gave mine away when we moved! I thought I had enough bird dies, but I have wished for that punch a few times in the last couple of years - sheesh!
ANYWAY, I really love this vibrant yellow bird perched on the branch and placed on that great red plaid paper. This is just so festive!

Enjoyed your "bird punch" story. (You're not the only one who has done that) ; ) It is a lovely card with the pretty stylized yellow bird, CarrollAnn. The red plaid DP is such a pretty accompaniment.

Terrific idea for the challenge colors! The plaid is terrific. Love your mango bird. I enjoyed seeing your card and reading your story. Been there, done that! I think most of us can relate. I look forward to seeing more punched birds and the creative way you use them! Great card.
