I love when SU makes stamp sets to coordinate with my existing punches! I used the Bird Builder to punch out this fresh little birdie from the SU Polka Dot Pieces stamp set. And I thought, hey- why not a pretty posie to go along with it? I used the colors from Pals Paper Arts # 206 to create this card with the SU Hardwood “BACKGROUND” stamp that Stampin’ Up Only Challenges # 98 is asking us to use this round.
I popped the Hardwood background off of the Baked Brown Sugar panel on the So Saffron card base. This gave some added dimension to the card. Before I adhered it, I punched out the branch, wing, and bird out of the Baked Brown Sugar CS since you won’t see that when it is covered up!

I love the negative space that you created with the punched circle in order to highlight the other stamped and punched images. Just love the Hardwood stamp as the main background feature. Thanks for playing along at SUO.
Thank you, Bronwyn. I just love that stamp set:)
Love this card. I smiled as soon as i saw it. I love the negative space of the entrance, the colors, the paper piecing of the bird. This is a really great card!
Thanks so much, Kelli!
So glad you linked up to the Muse DT Call, Cindy! I love the colour combination and clever use of space!
