The new Queen for the Day on Splitcoaststampers is Diane aka Charminglycreative. This is the card I chose to case. Diane has beautiful cards and uses a lot of dies and embossing folders. She also does a lot of white cards. I had the bird branch she used but decided I would just use this Martha Stewart bird set. I visited my sister recently and she let me stamp it while there. I brought it home and got out the Copics and had a great time coloring it.
I cut out two Spellbinders Labels 4 die cuts, sponged around the bird while still in the die, and then placed the top die over the bottom one.
Also, I am happy to say I was chosen as an honorable addict for this card over at Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #5. Yippee!
Recipe:
Paper-PTI white cardstock
Stamps-Martha Stewart Birds set
Ink-Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Inks/Stormy Sky
Accessories-Apple Green jute, Cuttlebug embossing folders/Textile and Swiss Dots, Copics, Spellbinders Labels 4

Congratulations on your win at ATSAM! That is a beautiful card! You know I love this bird. I'm still enjoying your chickadee. I couldn't bear to put it away yet.
I love the beautiful colored focal image...wow! I like how you used two different embossed backgrounds!
Beautiful card! Love the embossed background, image and the coloring. Also congrats on your win :)
Beautiful bird and I love your coloring and that great twine - well done card. Congrats on the B/W card - I loved that card and I am not surprised it got a shout out like that! I would case it but I know mine wouldn't come out near that good - I studied for a long time to determine why it looked so good to see if I could case it and I couldn't figure it out - I think it is that magical touch you have! Hugz!
Benz,
How gorgeous and elegant! The image is lovely, as is your coloring and lovely framing!
First, Congrats on being an honorable addict! Well deserved. :-D Now, for this card, I absolutely love that pop of green across the middle! Great image and coloring, and I love how you combined the two different embossings.
Beautiful Brenda, I love the textures and the beautiful way that you angled and frames the image :)

Hallo Benzi,
die Prägungungen gefallen mir sehr gut.(Ich muß meine Präge Folder auch mal wieder benutzen lach...)
Das Vogel Motiv ist wunderschön coloriert und gefällt mir in dem ausgestanzten Rahmen sehr gut.
Liebe Grüße Carmen.
PS Bei uns in Deutschland setzt endlich Tau Wetter ein. Es soll heute warm werden, 13° und die Sonne lacht auch am Himmel. Da kommt schon Frühlingstimmung auf.
