I think this is only the second fabric card I've made. On Splitcoaststampers yesterday, the ' Try a New Technique' challenge was 'No Stamping Allowed'. What??????? Sounded a bit scary and then I remembered my sis gave me this fabric piece- Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Collection/Cotton Scraps. I think it is just a beautiful piece of fabric...maybe because I'm a bird lover. I added a chipboard frame at the top. I placed it on my ink pad to get a speckled look. I hand cut the pennant and used the Stampin'Up! Modern Label punch for my computer generated sentiment. Add the flower and found out I could make a card without stamping....although, I really wanted to. :-)
I'm entering these challenges:
The Crazy Challenge-#92 Something with wings (of course, my wings are birds)

How beautiful, Benzi! So creative to use this lovely fabric piece for your card, and the chipboard frame accents it perfectly.

the image looks so beautiful it hard to believe its a fabric !!you have framed it so well ,love the flower on the side definitely add's to the charm of the card...so beautiful!!
This is one of my favorite CS images. I just love these birds. I have lots of feeders but have kept them empty because of a raccoon that keeps raiding them. Your card is beautiful.
That's beautiful, Benzi!! I can't believe that it's stamp-free. That bird fabric is beautiful. :)
Who needs stamps when you can make a card like this! Love that chipboard frame and beautiful birds! Have a fabulous day!
Beautiful!
Thanks for joining in at Allsorts this week for my anything but a square challenge. Good luck in the draw and I hope to see you again!
Hugs, Jill
BEautiful birdies! I love that ornamental frame VERY much, Benzi. It reminds me of my grandmother's furniture. Your non-stamped card is so awesome! BTW, I'm jealous that you're putting up your tree now. It must be in a room that isn't used all the time. I don't have the room to do that, and the tree would drive my husband bonkers if it hung around all this time!
I love your birdies, they look so happy singing away!
Totally creative with your fabric, lady! Gorgeous card!
Hard to believe that is fabric it is so pretty-this is awesome. I love how vintage your die cut looks too. Very creative and inspiring.
Oh your sis is such a sweetie, those little birdies are gorgeous! ...and well done for making such a fab no-stamping card (I wouldn't have had a clue what to do!)
Well, what a gorgeous card, Benzi- not stamping can work out beautifully sometimes!! :) I really love the weathered looking chipboard, I think that makes the card!! :)
Thanks for sharing with us at My Partner in Crafting Crime this time!! :)
hugs, Rachel x
