The Ways to Use It challenge is to make a card using a bird. That is perfect for me. I love birds and bird cards.
I made my card for the CCEE Stampers challenge to make our own buttons/brads. Mine were easily made by punching out a flower after embossing my paper and adding glossy accents. Of course, this had to dry. I added some aqua rhinestones. The buttons almost feel like leather.
Thanks to Colleen Dietrich aka Smoatsmom for this bird stamp. It was a surprise package in the mail. She knows I love birds and wanted me to have it. I love it Col!!!

Lovely card, Benzi. Love your silhouetted bird image. The turq is such a wonderful combo with the black/white/gray. Your bg DP and punched frame have the same wonderful scrolly feeling.
