This card is for the upcoming June birthday of a dear SCS friend and fellow Punchkateer. She loves birds and sings in two choirs and is a billionaire (so she loves to jet around the world to buy new punches just to make the rest of us drool).
I used today's sketch challenge, SC282, and the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club challenge to use sheet music in your card to make this music-themed birthday card. This card also qualifies for this week's Crafty Creations Challenge, to use your favorite stamp. I used my new PTI Everyday Button Bits stamp set, which *is* my new favorite!!!
And because the soon-to-be birthday girl loves her punches, I used a ton on this card!! Let's see: MS deco fan corner punch, MS deco fan border punch, CM corner rounder, SU scallop trim border punch, SU 1" circle punch, CM 1.5" circle punch, and SU designer label punch. Whew!! That was a workout!!
Paper: vintage hymnal page, DCWV textured card stock, Paper Company card stock, DP scraps
Ink: Palette noir black, Palette burnt umber, Palette hay stack
Accessories: MS deco fan corner punch, MS deco fan border punch, CM corner rounder, SU scallop trim border punch, SU 1" circle punch, CM 1.5" circle punch, SU designer label punch, buttons, burlap string, sponge, brads, dimensionals

OMG, Emzi, I have wandered upon another one of my birthday cards.
You got it all right and look at those little birds....how adorable. And, I love the hymnal pages. Did I count 7 punches???????????? I know it's mine and can't wait to get it into my hands. I love it!!!! What if it isn't mine? Boo Hoo
Well, I guess it will be worth it to get another year older just to get these wonderful cards I'm seeing on the gallery that were made just for lil' ol' me.
Oh, er...the billionaire part may be stretched a bit. :grin:

Emzi, you captured Ba Benzi perfectly with this "birdie" card with the vast quantity of PUNCHEZ!! OOOOH, I could take a bath in all these punchez!!! Strike that, it sounds too weird. What I'm trying to say is WAMMMMMO, you did a perfect job on the prez'z b-day card. I'm glad you reminded everyone she's a billionaire so that other SCS's will HOUND her to send them all her punchez. I'm sure she can afford it and it might ruin her billionaire image if she doesn't fork out the $ to provide all of us FREE PUNCHEZ, especially Da Dizzy whose been waiting by her mailbox in Canada through the snow storms just to receive at least ONE punch promised to by our Prez. Hey, are you trying to bribe the Prez too like some other Punchkateerz????? Don't you all know, Benz is old newz and will be replaced shortly or as soon as I can recuperate and start a mutiny again!!! . . . and the story continues . . . TFS your most precious card. The birds are absolutely ADORABLE as well as your awesome PATP, vintage hymnal page, buttons and threads!!! Way 2 go Emz!! Now, get to work on mine - my birthday is in Sept., so you have plenty of time. I want "real gold" on my card . . . and the story continues again . . .
