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!!!

This is a Victorian delight! The elegant bird with the soft aqua against black and white. Love all the embossed, die cut and punched elements. Gorgeous work.
