This card is for Joyce, who recently lost her husband. The challenge was 'birds'.. I thought about a stamp-tweety bird I have, or a Cricut die cut of Donald Duck, but went with this Crafters Companion die cut instead. The bird and wing are a Crafters Companion die set along with the flowers, but the head and tail feathers were cut from a separate 3D embossing folder also from Crafters Companion. The Hello word is Crafters Companion, and embossed folder with the leaves/stems for the background is from Diamond Press. I shaded it with mint green, and it came out great - although it barely shows in the pic. The gems are from "say it in gems'. I used Stampin' Up brown to highlight the bird (used the embossing folder over the bird itself) and feathers.

Your tweety is a sweety. Love all the patterned detail in that die and the inking really helps bring it out. I like how you made him so flamboyant with that headdress and long tail feathers. Very fun. I can barely see the mint green, but I bet it looks great as a bg for this guy. Great card.
