Today, my card is a little different - I tried something new, i.e, stamping on canvas.
On a piece of canvas measuring 3"x4.25", I stamped the branch and rose image (Itty Bitty WP Beauty) all around the edges. Next, I stamped the Bird on a branch image from KOM April 2011 in the centre and added some i-rock blings on the eye of the bird and several other spots on the branch. Then I added some Distress Stain (Antique Linen) and Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass) on the canvas. To add some definition to the canvas layer, I distressed the canvas edges with Walnut Stain.
The background paper is actually a Christmas paper (Webster's Pages, Sweet Season) - I love the colour & pattern. I did some piercing around the paper and sewed around it using Baker's Twine and tied a little bow on one corner. To finish off the card, I added a pink felt flower (cut using a Sizzix die) and leaves.
Here's a closer look at the flower corner:
I can't wait to see what everyone else has created. Thank you for visiting. I hope you'll have a wonderful day!

Hi Kary!!!
Yihoe!! Here I am, finally! I love this new style of your card, so pretty colors!! That bird stamp is so cute! You could also enter it for the Bird Challenge! ;-) Fun that we both decided to make a card with a bird, ha ha! I love that flower on your card!! And also the black border on the canvas, love it! You can distress more often, if you ask me, looks great!!
Wishing you a wonderful evening & a fabulous time in Hanoi - I loved it there 1,5 year ago, lots to see! Were you there before? How much time will you have? If you have time, you should definitely make a trip to the Ha Long Bay, that area is truly gorgeous!!!
Hugs, Wendy
This is darling, Kary!! That stamp works so well with the papers you chose. I can't believe you stitched that twine all the way around. The felt flower is the perfect colour for the greens! Love it.
