I was inspired by this button on our inspiration site this week (thanks again, Polly!) but went for a bird focal image rather than the flower: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/542331980101038365/
The bird is stamped in 3 shades of ink, and the stitched frame, the leaves, and the bird are all up popped up with dimensionals – giving it the dimensional 3D look that I love having in many of my cards. The white panel behind the opening is embossed- I love the detail this adds to the card.

So pretty with those colors and design, Maura. Thanks for letting me know about the challenge @ATS. I never go back once I link up a card. Maybe I should change that.

The colors on this are really amazing...such a wonderful combo. Great design and you're right about the embossed panel...love it...might be borrowing that idea. Cool bird, too!
Your card is just beautiful, I love that gorgeous purple bird. It reminds me of the birds on our feeder right now called a Red Pole. Great take on the challenge, thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad
