Day 1 of Clear Dollar Stamp's May Sneak Peeks and a Stamp Set Illustrated By Me! ; )

Hello!
I am on a 2 month vacation from Clear Dollar Stamps so that we can bring in some fabulous Guest Dt's or "Clearly Crafty Crew"  as we call them.
I just had to make a sample or two anyhow because......
drum roll please.....
I illustrated this stamp set! Hehehehe!
It is called "Bird-Day Hi" and will be available on May 1st @ Clear Dollar Stamps
For the coordinating "DP" I use the extra element stamps that come in the set, stamped, added Stickles and viola! The pretty cardstocks are all from "The Paper Temptress". See the card recipe below to see the exact colors used.
The flowers on the inside corner and the sentiment are also part of the set.
The hat is a separate stamp so you can do the bird with or without it so it doesn't have to be used just for birthdays.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Busy Bec's - "Flowers and Wings"
Stamptacular Sunday - "Sew" Special
Stamp With Us - "Birthday"
2 Red Bananas - "Behind The Scene"
Cupcake Craft - "Don't be Square"
Sew Many Cards - "Anything Goes"
