Bird Lovin!



Happy Thursday everyone, you have almost made it through another week.  Today I have a card for you using stamps from Prickley Pear Stamps.  It is my last card as guest designer *sigh*.   I have loved using their stamps and dies.  I am a bird lover so when I saw this stamp I had to have it.  This stamp is called Black Capped Chickadees, I made them into Finches by coloring them yellow.  I distressed the edges and added to paper from My Minds Eye, I love the music notes behind them.
