Bird Challenge

This week the Friday Mashup challenge was to use birds.  This was right up my alley because I have been a bird watcher for about 20 years or so.  In fact some months ago, I purchased a tutorial from Lynn Pratt to learn how to make a cardinal, a downey woodpecker and a baltimore oriole using various Stampin' Up punches.  So this was the perfect challenge to dig that tutorial out and get to work!  I got a lot of help from the FTL sketch challenge layout.

For my card, I made a cardinal and incorporated my long-neglected Woodland Walk dsp as a background.  I really love that woodgrain dsp and I'm not sure why I haven't used it that much!

I ended up not having enough room for a sentiment, but I like it all the same!  At least this way, I can use it for whatever occasion comes up!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today!
