Way cool IC site once again Stef! Fortunately for me, I had a little shopping spree at my favorite stamp store. One of the stamps just happen to be perfect for the inspiration piece I chose.......on to the card....
I stamped, clear ep and colored with re-inkers my bird on a branch. Cut out and set aside.
On a kraft card, I paper pierced two circles and the pointy things. Made my piercings into faux stitches. Did some painting and shading with acrylic paints. Popped up my birdie, added a bow from my dear friend Anne Ryan. Also added the button putting black and white dots around it.
Well, kind of plain and simple but it was fun having the perfect stamp today.....TFL :0)

Love this! You used the perfect colors and just the right amount of embellishing. You captured those spikes amazingly well. But you always come up with something creative. TFS!

Russian Spy, I bet that's the store over there on the corner of sunrise and cirby! Know the area and the store well, thanks to you. Were they having a holiday sale? I think your circle is incredible, Russian Spy. How you painted it is really incredible. It has a beautiful aura and the piercing is totally fabulous too. Sweet sweet card today, my friend. It's just extraordinary!

This card jumped out of the gallery at me, and then I saw that it was one of your incredible creations! The piercing and circles with the pretty yellow and black bird captured the inspiration piece perfectly! GREAT card, Cathy!
