Hi Stampers :

Here is another birthday card  I made over the weekend  for my friend Trish .

I used my friend Stella MacKay swap card from Founders Circle 2010   for my inspiration with Trish's Birthday card .

I used  the same stamp set which  the Bird / Owl and bird cage  are  from the  stamp set called Aviary # 120462 

The "For You" Greeting is  from the Elements of Style  stamp set # 120045 and I used the  1" circle punch #119868 with the 1 1/4" circle punch #119861  for Trish's Birthday  card.

We both used the Perfect Polka dot  embossing folder # 117335 with the Big Shot #113439.

For the  colors  I changed them  to Blushing Bride card  stock #119796  But  used the Early Espresso card  stock# 119686 just like Stella did .

 I also changed  the ribbon  and used the Pear Pizzazz   1/2" Polly Stitched  ribbon # 119265 and adhered  the Early Espesso 1/8" Taffeta  ribbon # 119959 on top of  the Pear Pizzazz  ribbon.

 I also changed  the punch  to the Scallop Trim border punch # 118402.

 I used a piece of designer paper  from the Love Birds simply Scrappin kit # 118707  layered that piece  of DSP right behind  the  Early Espresso behind  my bird and bird cage .

I also added lots of Rhinestones  #119246 to the bird cage .

Thank you Stella for such a sweet swap card  ( Love it )

Until later… Happy Stampin !
