I cased this beauty.... "Stampin B's Rub On Challenge" Stampin B's Rub On Challenge, Nancyruth by NANCYRUTH at Splitcoaststampers
Changed the image - mine is a stamp not a rub-on,
changed the colours, used a different shape nesty, ribbon placement is different, omitted the fence border...
This also qualifies for this months Dirty Dozen fan club challenge - theme - Winged things
and also Fridays Limited supply challenge - SOS
S - sewing, square card
O - oval shape matting, button, out of the box image
S - scallops, sparkle, Swiss Dots
And for the StampinB's challenge - watercolouring. http://stampinbsdesignteam.blogspot.com/
Image was water coloured with Stampin Up reinkers, masked image and sponged on the clouds using a scalloped oval. I hand cut out the oval around the birds #out of the box#, matted with black scalloped oval. Sewed edge. Cut out the white and green top-note shapes. Ran the white top-note through bug with Swiss dot embossing folder. Cut off part of the green top-note and layered over white top-note. Added Diamond sparkles to the Swiss dots and berries. Matted the dp with olive. Attached the torn fabric ribbon and sewed edges. Made the ribbon bow/button embellishment. Assembled card. Both panels are popped up.

Very, very pretty. Love the birds with your great coloring. The stitching around is a great touch. My mom would love something like this. Great job with using the top note too.

Your cards take my breath away and here's just another example. I LOVE these chubby birds. Your coloring, that sewing (!), and choice of embellishments put this over the top.

Wow you aced all these challenges! Beautifully colored birds and I love the oval on top of the top note. The sewing and ribbon treatment give it a shabby chic look. Very nice! TFS
