On a dare at this past weekend's crafting retreat, I made a card with a stick. Had so much fun playing with dry wall tape this weekend that I used it too.
Many hugz!

Wow, what a spectacular background! Before I read your description I really stared at this trying to figure out HOW you got the twig to look so REAL! What a fantastic use for it! You even have him positioned perfectly on this. Nancy, I just love your work!

Oh, Nancy, you are so the Queen of Cardboard!! The way you used the drywall tape and modeling paste and acrylic paint makes such a cool looking background for the "birthday bird", though he doesn't look too happy about his situation!!

Nancy, this is soooo cute. First, I like the cardboard and paint/modeling paste on it. I haven't done that in a while. I always love cards with those birds. Your stick looks great and so does the drywall tape. Awesome card! I want you to stay safe tonight, too. Actually, all we have had is rain, rain, rain. I did see down your way was bad. Take care, my friend.

LOL I can picture the conversation......you make cards with the torn cardboard boxes, why wouldn't you be able to create a masterpiece with a stick!!!
