Sweet little birdie

HI All!

I have made the sweetest little birdie......speaking of birds.....I had 12 robins in my cherry tree two days ago!!! Do they not realize we have a foot of snow...they should be on the beaches of Florida??!??!?!?!? Anyway.....I digress......

Now before I get into this card.....BE FOREWARNED!!!!!! THE SIZZLET DIES AREN'T DESIGNED TO CUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN PAPER OR CARD STOCK......I DID THIS AT MY OWN RISK...AND IF YOU DO IT TOO....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.... :)

Isn't that bird the sweetest?? The card base is pink pirouette. I stamped it with En Francais background in pink pirouette. I sponged the edges with riding hood red. The top corner is stamped with the flourish from Baroque Motifs in chocolate chip. My sentiment is from Holidays and Wishes. The designer series paper is Candy Lane. I tore and rolled at the top edge a bit. I then tied a simple knot with the striped pink pirouette grosgrain ribbon.

Now for that bird.....remember, I said that cutting CORK is not an approved material for sizzlets....I cut thin cork with my bird die in the birds and blooms sizzlet set. I adhered the wing down with tombow mono multi glue and then punched out his eye with my 1/8th inch handheld punch. Before adhering the little guy down to my card, I put a piece of chocolate chip card stock behind his eye.

Want a closer look at his cuteness????

The card is very simple...I didn't want to take away from the bird.....what do you think?
