I just can not stop using my absolute favorite punch.....ever!!! The new SU Extra Lg Two Step Bird Punch.....are you surprised?!?
After seeing Ann Fitzgeralds Chickadee Valentine's card I had to try making my own chicadee. Ann has a very helpful tutorial on her blog: http://annscreativemoments.com/2010/02/05/647/
Be sure and check out Ann's flower Easter card too. She is a real creative artist. Me......I CASE and add my own spin.
This 4 1/4" sq.card is also for notimetostamp's challenge ssnotime131 (texture). BTW, I moved the photo corner a bit to show a little Basic Grey frame. Better balanced now.....

Oh, Nancy, I love it, love it! Your card is so elegant, and the chickadee looks so classy! I love the way you used the branch to make a cluster of flowers just about to burst into bloom! Great card!
