I got the Stampin' Up Songbird Builder Punch as part of Sale-a-bration 2023. I don't have the coordinating stamp set. I like the way the punch works all by itself, but I have since added the stamp set to my wishlist because I just have to have the variety of sweet eyes that come with it!! In the meantime, I used some gems to make his little eyes sparkle.
Everything else on this card is older. The paper is the retired Sunshine & Rainbows which is one of my favorites even though some of the colors in it are retired. The eyes are the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems (as of this post, they are in the clearance section). The sentiment is Sending You Thoughts (also retired). I'm having serious thoughts on the sentiment. It's a set of coordinating in and out sentiments and I believe this is the second half of a sentiment. I deliberately added it to the front because "happiness" just worked with the rainbows and the bird. So the card will say "With a great big wish for happiness...happy birthday". I think it works?!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
