Mod Squad Challenge for October - For The Birds

I am hosting along with Cindy Horvath for the Mod Squad Challenge.  The Challenge is pretty simple and I hope that you will join in.  There are two sponsors and two prizes.  If you use one of the sponsors products, you will get a second chance to win.  Check it out Mod Squad Challenge
                                                               Here is my card.

































I have used this stamp set of a cardinal before.  He is so versatile and can be used all year around.  Not just for winter.  In this case, I also combined it with some other stamp sets to make a complete design.  The branch is from Sweet Friends, and the fall leaves are from The simple Things.  I also used a spellbinder border die along the side.  For the leaves, I stamped in versa mark and then gold embossing powder.  After heating, I water colored them with fall colors of green, orange and red. the leaves are fussy cut and attached with foam adhesive.

I would love to see how you use a bird on your project.  I will be watching and commenting.
