Yes, you read that title correctly. Try as I might, I just wasn't quite happy with this card... but here it is anyway... The birds are so small in the image , it might be hard to tell what they are, but they are many clear embossed tiny birds on boughs - well, it is what it is!
I took my inspiration from the background blue in the IC picture, and I noticed on small bird on the top of a basket on the fridge - from this came my inspiration for this card.
Hero art Many Birds stamped in night of Navy, clear embossed, two shades of bazzill blues, stamped stripes with night of navy stripes onto the bottem third.. , two layers of ribbon, , Bling in the corners.
Well, try to like it...sigh. On small comfort - it looks a little better IRL! But not that much...
I'll be back to comment in the morning.

I think it's pretty, and I'm always a sucker for stripes, love stripes. It kind of makes me think of that nursery rhyme where the blackbirds get baked in a pie...but I bet they're a lot happier on a tree than in a pie. Don't be too hard on yourself!
I like the simplicity, a certain elegance. I don't want you to toss it out, that's bad for the environment, so you can always send it to me. :-) I like your card Deb!

Deborah, you are so hard on yourself I think this is absolutely gorgeous. I love the ribbon, the tree full of birds and that bottom layer. If you had not said so I would have thought that was how that dp came, you are so creative. great job.

I think it's a wonderful card ... love the shades of blue and I can see all of those birds ... it would be a great masculine card ... lovely inspired creation.
