My project features the classy "Chandelier Fun" stamp set and it wasn't until I was posting here, that I had not used Copic Markers or even Ribbon (GASP!) I felt so rebellious and liberated by breaking away from what has become the "norm". I heat embossed the Chandelier and raised it up with foam squares. I used the new Martha Stewart "Bird on the Wire" border punch paired with a scrolled, embossed border punch across the mid section of the card. Take a peek at the inside of my card:
I was so tickled with myself at how well my birds look "HANGIN' OUT" on the chandelier!! All I did was snip & glue from a scrap that was headed towards the garbage.

CHALLENGES I USED:
Pile It On: Photo Inspiration (just look at that chandelier & the black butterflies on the walls, I'm not a butterfly person, so I opted for black birds)
Cute Card Thursday: Someone Special
Your Next Stamp: Cut it out & Pop It Up (chandelier is popped up)

Here are some of the products I used from ABC Toys & Crafts:
