This is for F4A49 to use warm colors and something fuzzy on our project. I found a wonderful blog site called Ann's Creative Moments by Ann Fitzgerald http://annscreativemoments.com/ that has some wonderful tutorials on different ways to use the SU bird punch. If you have a bird punch and love using it then you must go check out Ann's blogs. She has several different examples using the punch. I think she has Easter chicks on the top of her blog right now.
I created my bird using one of Ann's instructions and framed it with pine foliage and a fluffy/fuzzy fabric cording that someone gave me a long time ago. I wondered what in the world I would ever do with it and today's challenge seemed the perfect opportunity to put it to use. If you would like to know how I made my bow check out my multi loop tutorial on my blog. http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kitti...tutorials.html

What a wonderful card you've made. I got the bird punch at Christmas and really haven't used it yet. After looking at your card and spending a few minutes on the site you linked I'm inspired to give it a try! (I need to get a hold of that MS punch too) Thanks for sharing your card and your sources.
