Crafty Ann's Challenge - 23 November 2012 - Birds or animals (but NO people)

Today is the start of another challenge over at Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog.  The topic for this fortnight is "birds or animals" but NO people are allowed this time.

For my card I have used Crafty Ann's bird on a blossom branch digital image which I have coloured in with Promarkers, die-cut and used a chalk ink pad around the edges.  The backing papers I have used are Crafty Ann's brown polished stone and Crafty Ann's yellow abstract 2 backing papers.

    

I have done lots of different layers and different shapes and punches out a decorative edge with a Martha Stewart lattice border punch.  I have inked some die-cut flowers (Tim Holtz die) with yellow, orange and brown distress ink and put together with a brad for some dimension.  I have finished the card off with Papermania Glitterations, die-cut sentiment and ribbon.
