I spent forever making this card. I used the new Grand Nestabilitie Labels 4 to make the card shape.
Stamped my bird and masked so I could stamp the bird cage. Added lots of embellies. Used a Cuttlebug Embossing Plus Fanciful Labels for the sentiment.
I entered my card into these challenges:

Dear Card,
You are so beautiful. I want to make something just like you because when I look at you, I wish you were at my house instead of Benzi's. I wish it was my birthday so she would be thinking about sending you to me. You have so many cool attributes, but your awesome shape, super coloring, and designer elements just blend together to make the coolest thing going!
So one day, when I can afford a grand nestie, I am going to try and recreate you. For now, I will just have to look at your picture in my favorites gallery.
Give Benzi a hug for me because she deserves it after making you!
Love, Nutzi

Benzi - forever maybe but definitely well worth it. Time is irrelevant when creating a masterpiece like this - and it is a masterpiece worthy of a frame!!! Love that new Grand Nestie... on my wish list.

Dear Card,
Everything Nutzi said is true. You are such a shapely card I am envious. Benzi has created a wonder in you. If you are really going to go and spend the rest of your life with Nutzi, perhaps before you leave just remind Benzi the Prez that I too think you are an amazing card. And I do have a birthday coming up.
Sweet, sweet card that took forever to make - tell Benzi to be very pleased with her results!
With admiration,
Izzy
