The Pixie Cottage challenge #57 was to use their sketch and/or embossing. I embossed my bird house and sentiment. http://thepixiecottage.blogspot.com/
Colored, cut out, and popped up my little bird on top of the birdhouse. Sponged around the house. Added some crinkled ribbon, die cut leaves, and a rose button.

Benzi - this is absolutely STUNNING!!! The papers are so beautiful, love that perfectly cut and mounted little birdie - he looks like he's heading over to check out that wonderful flower and I don't blame him - it's gorgeous with that fab crinkled ribbon.

You and your birds! Another bird card!! I think that if you made a .............. boys birthday card with dinosaur on it - you'd sneak a bird in there somewhere! Such a fascination with the birds. Well, your card is for the BIRDS!;)
