The Destination Station this week is to Barbara a friend of a fellow Teapotter's Mother who is facing another round of ovarian cancer.
I decided I wanted to use my 2-step bird punch and make a Blue Jay so I did a search in the Gallery at SCS and found this awesome post by AnnetteMac! For the Birds by AnnetteMac at Splitcoaststampers Jay
So I did my best to case her blue jay!
The card base is blushing bride, with a layer of white embossed with the love language EF. The bird was punched out of white and coloured with copics. The beak & eye are black cs.
The branches are wild wasabi also made with the 2-step bird punch, and the flowers were made with the 3 flower punch. I first put liquid pearl in the center of the flowers, bu I can never get the peeks to go down, so I sprinkled on some dazzling diamonds glitter.

What a beautiful, beautiful bluejay. We have jays here, but they are different, not nearly so colourful. And that's a gorgeous, soft, pretty spray of flowers he's perched in.
