Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: speckled background.
I had some left over Speckled Background from this morning. I stamped the snowflakes in VersaMark and embossed in White.
*You can view a tutorial on my blog! I decided to make one of YLM's birds! (Thank you Vicky Gould for showing me how to do this!)
I decided to use a Martha Stewart balloon for the body...So it's only about 1" long. The feathers are from a Martha Stewart leaf! The belly was made by punching a white balloon and cutting it to fit! The eyepatch and beak are 1" circle punches cut to fit.

Loved your bird card!!! The tutorial was helpful. Showing what punches you used also helped in case you do not have just the same one you have named. I always enjoy seeing your cards. You put soooooooo much into each and every one. Always so well done and colorful looking. Thanks for sharing your talents. Diana

Another beautiful card. I went to your blog, but didn't see a way to leave a message. Your tutorials are great. Please keep them up. The inspiration from all of you is wonderful.
