CTD187 - Little Bitty Bird

It's time for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge!
Joan is our hostess for this week and she's chosen some lovely colors and a great inspiration photo to get our creative mojo going.
For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Little Bitty Bird Additions along with the coordinating bird dies.  I started out with a chocolate chip card base, then for the top portion of my card I used a piece of lavender lace that I embossed using the perfect polka dots embossing folder.  For the bottom half of my card I used some SU designer paper and for the center I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the SU Top Note die and cut it in half and trimmed it down so that I could use it as a border for my image.  After stamping and coloring my image I added some small rhinestones to the centers of all the flowers along the bottom of the picket fence and popped up my bird images using foam tape.

Lynn, I can't believe how many cards you got done at the Mingle. I absolutely LOVE this one! You rocked the colors (of course!) but I also love the sweet scene, the pieced wing, the different textures and sweet flowers with the gems. And I am so impressed with your Copic skills... super tweet card :D
