2-step Bird Punch

My next Stamp Camp will use the 2 part bird punch to create a Valentine, Sympathy or all-occasion card.

The Card Recipe
create a standard card base (5 1/2 x 4 1/4) inch of Very Vanilla
layer with Chocolate chip (cut 1/4 inch smaller - 5 1/4 x 4")  Tear the right edge
Cut a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Very Vanilla (this will be the piece you stamp on)
tear the right edge and sponge with Melon Mambo
Stamp your sentiment on the middle of the page in chocolate chip ink
Spritz with the new Smooch!
Punch 2 birds-one from chocolate chip and the other from a coordinating piece of DSP
Arrange chocolate chip bird slightly offset from the DSP bird to give contract
(this card uses retired DSP)
Affix the bird in a pleasing arrangement at the lower right corner. 
Add random branches made of scrap greens (this uses lucky limeade and always artichoke)
I added flowers using random pieces of pink and added some dazzling diamonds in their centers. 
I'll post the Valentine Card tomorrow!

Happy Stampin'
Diana
