I'm going back in time to do some of my beloved Midnight Madness Sketches that I haven't been able to get to.
I had SO MUCH fun with this card. I love birds, script and musical scores, so this was a win/win/win for me. I bought the bird image from the Michael's $1 bin awhile ago, but was intimidated to use it after I had seen ejkeaton, a/k/a Emily, use it a couple times on her beautiful cards. But, I gave it a whirl!
My DH gave me a musical score b/g stamp for Christmas and I was SO HAPPY to be able to use it. I stamped the panels with the b/g stamp and paper pieced the bird. You can never get too much music, right?
I embossed the first layer with allegro ef and the image mat I embossed with script ef. Added a little dazzling diamonds to the bird's beak, wing and tail. Popped up the bird and the image panel on dimensionals. Added some delicate flower ribbon to the top and placed 3 black pearls in center of each flower.
Thanks so much for taking a "tweet", I mean "peek" and have a wonderful New Year!

This is too fun, Pamzi! Love the score on the sides and on that cute bird (I've got him too). Lovely in B & W as well.
Don't stress out about the FS case. Just go with what is natural for you - I know I'll love it, especially now that you've found your Swiss Dots EF LOL! Blessings and hugz!!

Ah Pamzi. This card 'sings' of your cardmaking abilities. Simply wonderful. Classic in the black and white combo. I see da Prez is claiming this one already - and 6 months until her birthday! What a gal. And how sweet of your DH to gift you with stamping goodies - he must be paying attention!

Isn't this just as "tweet" as it can be. I love how creative you got using that music sheet design paper. It makes for an elegant look to this fun card.
