I used different stamps although I did use a nest like on Karen's card. I also changed the card layout and used different cardstock. The base card was a gift from Pat Smethers when she was trying to get me hooked on a Cuttlebug (it worked - I am addicted now). I also added Stickles to the nest and used a different ribbon. I wish I could figure out how Karen does all that pretty shading - mine looks really coarse and grainy. I still like how it came out though. TFL!

It was a cold, dark night...nothing to do but STAMP! Aaaaack! And look at how well this story worked out! Sister, I *love* this card! Your shading is gorgeous, and your cut work on that nest is remarkable. Your shading behind the bird is perfection- I love the glow from behind the nest. Good day, with the rain... huh? LYMI

This is gorgeous! Love the background coloring, the sparkly nest and the placement of your sentiment.
