Bird for you ...

Hi Stampers :

Here is another birthday card  I made over the weekend  for my friend Trish .

I used my friend Stella MacKay swap card from Founders Circle 2010   for my inspiration with Trish's Birthday card .

I used  the same stamp set which  the Bird / Owl and bird cage  are  from the  stamp set called Aviary # 120462 

The "For You" Greeting is  from the Elements of Style  stamp set # 120045 and I used the  1" circle punch #119868 with the 1 1/4" circle punch #119861  for Trish's Birthday  card.

We both used the Perfect Polka dot  embossing folder # 117335 with the Big Shot #113439.

For the  colors  I changed them  to Blushing Bride card  stock #119796  But  used the Early Espresso card  stock# 119686 just like Stella did .

 

 I also changed  the ribbon  and used the Pear Pizzazz   1/2" Polly Stitched  ribbon # 119265 and adhered  the Early Espesso 1/8" Taffeta  ribbon # 119959 on top of  the Pear Pizzazz  ribbon.

 I also changed  the punch  to the Scallop Trim border punch # 118402.

 I used a piece of designer paper  from the Love Birds simply Scrappin kit # 118707  layered that piece  of DSP right behind  the  Early Espresso behind  my bird and bird cage .

I also added lots of Rhinestones  #119246 to the bird cage .

Thank you Stella for such a sweet swap card  ( Love it )

Until later... Happy Stampin !

Love It! The Pink and Black just POPS. I checked out both - the one you got your inspiration from and yours - love the way you added the embellishment on the bottom of the cage - how realistic it looks.

Dawn, hi! 2 funny things... a demo friend referred me to your site to see the bubble technique as she might be demonstrating it at our next DL meeting for our techniques books. So I then see your version of "my" card (thanks!) and it's time for true confessions. My DL designed AND made that card for me to hand out at FC as I was undergoing chemo and radiation when it was swap making time. She knew I wasn't up to making 135 swaps so she generously offered to do it all for me so I wouldn't be left out. Is she a saint or what??!I have to give full credit to demo Sarah Wills (a Rising Star from last year) for this gorgeous card!
