Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: speckled background.
I had some left over Speckled Background from this morning. I stamped the snowflakes in VersaMark and embossed in White.
*You can view a tutorial on my blog! I decided to make one of YLM's birds! (Thank you Vicky Gould for showing me how to do this!)
I decided to use a Martha Stewart balloon for the body...So it's only about 1" long. The feathers are from a Martha Stewart leaf! The belly was made by punching a white balloon and cutting it to fit! The eyepatch and beak are 1" circle punches cut to fit.

Beautiful card Faith. Love the blues.
I've admired those birds YLM makes. Yours is cute too. They look pretty simple. Must try it soon. I think I can figure it out.
