I Won!~

Kimberly at Hannah's Design Team Blog contacted me to tell me I won a Tim Holtz Configuration Box. Woohoo! I never win things, so this was a cool surprise. It will be a fun project for the upcoming summer!
Meanwhile, our neighbors are moving so we awoke to the sound of shouting, bangs, crashes, and moving vans early this morning. Since I was up I decided to work on a card using paper from the Flying Unicorn Store.

I stamped the brick background with Distress Antique Linen. The paper is graphic 45 Baby To Bride edged with Distress Vintage Photo ink. I painted the bird with Distress Picket Fence Crackle Paint. I used a Stampendous Music Score stamp on the punched oval. The button and cream flower are also from the Flying Unicorn. Like the effect of the embossed edge punch...it is my newest punch from Martha Stewart. I usually go for lots of color, so this was actually a stretch for me to use a soft palette but I like it. I admire the monochrome white on white or all cream cards and LO's I see, but don't know if I can manage it! My inclination is to add color! LOL~ This is a start, eh?
