Out Of Shape?

Don't answer that question! Just kidding today is Monday so that means it is time for the next Heart2Heart Challenge. This week the challenge is to make a shaped card, any shape other than a square or rectangle how fun is that? I knew right away what I wanted to do, I bought the cutest bird shaped chipboard album at Michael's for a buck, so I just folded a piece of cardstock in half, traced one of the chipboard pages, cut it out and voila a bird shaped card. Then using the wonderful new "Mistletoe" paper I covered my card and decorated it uo. That fabulous ribbon is from the Cocoa collection and I made that wonderfull flower out of cardstock, inked the edges in Desert Sand and added a cocoa button and some hemp. The sentiment was stamped from the Everlasting Life stamp set. For the eye I cut out a New England Ivy circle and took a brad from the center of a poinsetta in the "Mistletoe" Mini-Medley collection and put it through the center. I also used a scalloped border punch and a rhinestone flourish from Zva Creations and did some simple stiching along the edge. This challenge really inspired me and I hope it does you as well because it is another 4 for 40 week which means if we get 40 players this week one lucky player will win 4 cards handmade by the incrediably talented Andrea Ewen.
