little birdie's thank you song

dontcha just love it when you make a fairly cool card...and you have leftover bits...and then you use the bits to make ANOTHER fairly cool card?! yeah, me too! :) it happened last week when i made the carmen miranda card. i had tons of scraps, including this rather fab compound flower that didn't quite fit on the first card. i made the sweet little patterned paper bird* by tracing a frances meyer chipboard one and a fancy pants felt wing...and the next thing i knew, that little dude was flying off to england, singing my thanks to that very lovely bestower of tasty blog candy...missus trashalou**!!!

(green cardstock: unknown; patterned paper: hambly, sei, my mind's eye, plus vintage sheet music sprayed with a bit of pink glimmer mist; florals: junkitz, heidi swapp, prima; epoxy stickers: michael's dollar spot, sue dreamer; felt accents: fancy pants, queen & co; rub-on letters: scenic route; other: foam tape, colorbox inks, zigwriter...oh yeah...after i scanned it, i decided what this card--and in fact ALL PAPER GOODS, EVERYWHERE, imo--needed glitter; so i adorned the border of the block that says "thank you" with a nice thick coat of clear stickles!)

*just in case you thought my bird obsession was finally over...naaaaah...i think these babies are gonna be around for the forseeable future!!!

**she's received it now, so i am not messin' up the surprise!
