I used my new Grand Nestabilitie to make my card, adding assorted papers, ferns, bird/bird cage , and flowers. I stamped and masked the bird and stamped the bird cage over it. I sewed a trio of stitches for my flower stem, punched the flower and added a sentiment using Cuttlebug Fanciful Labels.

such a pretty shaped card Benzi! Lots of lovely colour too! Thanks for playing along at the Play Date Cafe :)
I'm sorry you had such a stressful day, but your card turned out just lovely - in spite of all the drama! You used the colors in a great way, and I love all the interesting embellies you used here! Nice job! Hopefully choir practice helped to soothe your rattled nerves :)
Brenda this is Gorgeous! Love the 'combined grind' challenge you put together! Those colors are so bright and cheerful! Love the grand nestie shape too! Had to LOL when I read of your round with Gimp and the watermark - always the way it goes when you're in a hurry! Your card is fabulous!!!
Gorgeous Benzi! I love how you layered all those shapes for a wonderful look! All your details come together beautifully! Thanks for joining us at our special "Combined Grind" challenge with both The Play Date Cafe and CASE Study!

Sounds like you are having a challenging day.....however, gf....I absolutely LOVE this little scene you have created...love the shape, the images, the way you put it all together....you are definitely having a good day in the stamping realm
Well of course when you are in a hurry there is always a big hiccup!! In spite of it all you did a beautiful job!! Love the shape and the wonderful birdcage and leaves!! Hope you had a fun visit with your sis.
Wow, Benzi!! This is so intricate and beautiful. Look at all of those lovely layers! And I spy a sweet bird among all those ferns and flowers. What a gorgeous, fancy creation. So sorry you had to rush-rush to get this posted, but it was worth the effort, I think. Amazing job!
Very pretty card! I love the shape of it. Thanks for joining in with our combined grind over that the Play Date Cafe with CASE Study!
Benzi, I am drooling over here. I LOVE everything about this! And talk about being an enabler...I am seeing things here I didn't know existed, like the Cuttlebug embossed frame. Must have! Oh, you've knocked this one outta the park. Sorry GIMP was being a problem, and yes, I have had my days with that program - getting me all frustrated!
Glad you made it in time for our Cafe challenge.
This is stunning, Benzi! What's not to love with all that fantastic texture, scrumptious detail, and vibrant color?! Hope things got better thoughout your day! Those days are never fun and seem to happen all too often around my house ;). Thank you so much for playing along, this week, in The Cafe!
