I had a hard time finding the right mix. I used birds instead of a flower, added dp, and faux stitching. I tried to use a flower, ran into cutting and coloring problems. So, I had this bright idea of using the bird punch. I didn't make it outside the box like Bridget did as I just couldn't make it work.
I used the beautiful dsp from SU called Springtime Vintage, added a seam ribbon and brad. I embossed the birds and punched wings with dsp. Wouldn't you like to see a bird with decorative wings???? The birds were popped up on dimensionals as well as their wings. For some reason, I wanted them to fly in different directions. Don't have a clue why I did this. Used the b/g stamp Pretty Pattern for the b/g behind the birds.
Thanks for taking a look and have a great week.

Pamzi, this is just delightful! Love those birds and papers and the faux stitching makes this look quilted. Wonderful CASE by a wonderful cardmaker (who always makes me laugh - TY).

What could that be? Could that be the seam binding ,SU DSP, SU Bird punch - -yes I detect an SUO card!!! I like very much how your birds are facing both directions!! It just looks right that way! Pretty birds ! Nice use of the EF!!! Good punch tally too!!!! I was just going to say -when are you going to get going with your Easter Cards, but there you are - teeny tiny wishes! I've got that too!! Great looking card, Fruitcake!!!

Such a pretty card. I love that the wings of the birds match the background paper - very cute. The seam binding and brad just seem like the perfect touch to go on this card. Love this colour combo.

Such a cute card with those wonderful birdies, awesome paper and embossing, and that stunning bow with that incredibly cool center. What a great brad! I don't recall seeing it before - are you sure it isn't a listening or photo devise of the spy variety?
I am wondering if you have the birdees flying in different directions to take people's mind off that spy devise - very clever you are Fruitcake! LOL!
Hugz my friend!
