Another bird challenge card

Here's another card for the weekly bird challenge over at The Hero Club Blog. This one was a lot less time consuming (click to see larger):

I love this cute little bird image. He looks like he's singing, or maybe even whispering a little secret. ;) I stamped him twice, once on Whisper White and again on Real Red. The red image was cut out and put put on a shallow pop dot. The swirly dot border was stamped and a few strategically placed dots with my white gel pen helped make it pop. The scalloped edge was done with a small corner rounder and Hero's small, red Gemstones were added for sparkle. A TIP for making the scallops: when using your corner rounder, take off the corner guide and start punching your scallops in the center of your paper, and then work outwards to either side... rather than starting at one end and punching through to the other. This will ensure symetrical, even scallops at the edges.

Thanks for looking. Have a fabulous weekend! :)
