Here is my first card for the SU! Creative Crew gallery! This is an exciting opportunity and I hope that my work inspires you in some small way.
I layered Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and designs fromt he Springtime Vintage dsp. The heart was punched out of the red Glimmer Paper with the extra-large Full Heart punch. I cut a narrow strip of Basic Black cardstock and adhered it across the bottom third of the card. Then I took the birds on a line stamp from Clearly for You and embossed it with Black detail ep. I watercolored two of the birds -- the ones looking at each other -- cut them out and adhered them to their perch.
I embossed the banner from Be My Valentine in Black detail ep, watercolored it, cut it out and floated it above the heart with Dimensionals.
The ribbon detail is composed of Vanilla 1/8" taffeta ribbon layered over Cherry Cobbler seam binding. Strips punched out of Always Artichoke with the Scallop Trim Border punch are layered below the ribbons, top and bottom. The punch detail includes Basic Pearls at the base of each scallop.

Beautiful card. I love all the elements you put together to make this a wonderful card: glimmer paper, glimmer brads, birds on a perch without a 3rd bird, dsp, punches, and the list just goes on.
Thanks for sharing a great card.
