I was inspired by one of the photo's in Nicole's post today using this cover plate, so that was my jumping off point. Songbirds had the perfect airy leaf image, which I die cut three times using gold & silver kraft paper and vellum. I cut the sweet bird out in shiny gold cardstock, keeping all the details intact.
The flower is a combination of a larger flower cut from vellum and two smaller flowers from Flower Fusion cut using the shiny gold, all of which I formed using a ball stylus. I added some cheese cloth to the back and a pearl bead to the center. The banner was cut from vellum and gold heat embossed using the Wedding Wishes stamp from Songbirds.
Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Beautiful card!
This card is stunning. You should work with shiny, blingy materials more often!
PS - I could tell you jumping off point from first glance at the thumbnail. Great way to be inspired.
Very pretty - Love your leafy stems and bird with vellum, gold and silver.

This is beautiful Birgit. Love the touches of gold and the layered leaf die.
Love the shine- the details on the die cuts look wonderful in metallics.
