Stef, cool site today. Got to admit tho, this one was a little tough for me. I went waaaaay outside my comfort zone to make this card. Just about didn't post it. Still don't know why I did......that's how uncomfortable I am with this card. Oh well........details.....
Not sure how this came about, but my focus was on the center of this plate . I knew I had a stamp somewhere that would work. After much searching, I found it and few others I want to use. hehe I stamped my main flower on black cs using versa mark then white ep. Made a mask of the flower, put it on then stamped the vines all around with versa mark and white eb. Cut this out with a circle coluzzle. Ran a line around the edge with a versa mark pen and white ep. Set aside.
On a glossy linen card, I stamped the vines in the corners with versafine onyx black and clear ep.
Glued the circle to the card. Sorry, but it just needed some color so I stamped the small dots with versa mark and red ep. Still needed something. Found this left over Rubbernecker birdie on my table so I popped him up and bravely took a picture.
Well, I am sure you are shocked about as much as I am that I actually made a card like this. You just never know........thanks for stopping by.... & TFL :0)

Wow, Cathy! When I saw the thumbnail, I didn't associate this design with you! But this is one beautiful and elegant card! I love the center flower and the radiating vines! And of course, the little red bird! Great take on the inspiration piece! Love what you did here!
