Notice how the punched border looks like piano keys! This is accomplished by using the Spiral Border Punch (#119872, P.200) on a strip of Very Vanilla Cardstock (#101650, P169) and cutting the front of the Early Espresso Cardstock base (#119686, P169) shorter than the back of the card.
The music notes are created with the standard wheel (#120327, P219) which is my FAVORITE WHEEL from Stampin' Up! Don't forget to order the handle like I did. (#102971, P193) as it doesn't look the same trying to roll it around using your fingers! Got THAT T-shirt! I used one of the new IN COLOR inks called Peach Parfait (#119783, P165) to match the piece of Peach Parfait Cardstock (#119794, P165) I used behind the Very Vanilla Cardstock to create a frame.
The stamped word BIRD is created using the Broadsheet Alphabet (#120585, P159) Clear Stamp Set...another of my FAVORITES! Line them up on a Clear-Mount Block E or larger (#118484, P192) and stamp them all at the same time or if you have the Wood Mount Stamps, use your Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement (#101049, P198). I used Old Olive Ink (#102277, P166). Place a Basic Rhinestone (#119246, P188) above the "I" for a pop of glitz.
The Bird itself is from the Free Hostess Set, Punch Potpourri, and is one of the choices for an order of only $150.00! I can tell you how to get your friends together for a catalog party to reach this goal or if you are like me, you can reach that amount all by yourself! The set comes with a fabulous butterfly, heart and flower stamp, too. Take a look at it (P10)! I stamped the bird in Early Espresso Ink (#119670, P169) on Very Vanilla Cardstock and then cut it out leaving a small border around the stamped image.
I did all the shading with Soft Suede Ink (#115657, P169) and a sponge (#101610, P195).
The flower you see in the upper right hand corner is actually one of my Ooh-La-La decorated clothespins I use for hanging display items and clip on gift bags, ribbon, banners, etc. It is made using the new Fun Flowers Bigz L Die for the Big Shot (#121812). It can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog on P39 until April 30, 2011 along with the First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper (#121878) found on P25. The Pumpkin Pie colored button in the center is from Stampin' Up!'s Brights Designer Button Collection (#119747, P186) and is tied with Linen Thread (#104199, P190), both in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog. Glue it on to a clothespin you can get anywhere! I use the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430, P197) to attach it to the clothespin as they are super strong and they set the flower up off the clothespin to add depth. And you get 300 of them so they last a long time!
Give this one a try!
