I made this card for today's ways to use it challenge. Make a card using birds. This is my story!
1. This is the card I wanted to make yesterday but I didn't have enough time. I didn't have enough time today either!
2. Sometime back I made a card using this set and it sorta accidently became my #1 all time favorite card. Sometimes that sorta happens and you are left thinking...how did that happen? I cased that card today.
3. When I was making this card I was thinking about the weird noise that woke us up last night about 2:00 am. It wasn't a cat or dog I know that. I was obviously an animal that got hurt as it was just screeming! Then of course, all the neighborhood dogs started howling and it was really noisey and sorta scary!
4. I am thinking it was probably coyotes. We live close to the mountains and they come down. We hear them howling quite often and I think they may have been fighting last night.
5. Don't get me wrong, we live in a neighborhood, a normal neighborhood but just really close to the foothills. I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression that the Photographer is Jeremiah Johnson or anything! It wasn't *Grizz*!
Beautiful card I have this stamp set. I think I want to try my hand at a card like this, I just learned from a blog (I do not remember whose now) that you can use a scallog punch out to sencil clouds. Thanks for sharring your awesome card.

This really looks like that bird is in a tree with all the foliage around him (or her?). Lovely card!

Beautiful! Love your birdie on the branch, leaves in the background squares and those clouds. WOW! I love clouds on cards. It says....my cloud stencil. Did you make your own stencil for the clouds? Just curious. This is a very pretty card. TFS :0)
