IB4S "Christmas Collage" ~ Merry Blackbird" Card

Hello All!
This is my second post for the day so when you are finished checking out this card, please scroll down to see what else I have been up to. :)

Della, from I Brake For Stamps, sent me an extra sheet of rubber to play with besides the ones I got to pick out this month. I am sooooo glad she did!
You all know that I do lots of cutsie cutsie stuff but I mixed it up a bit on this card.


The stamps set is IB4S "Christmas Collage" rubber sheet and it is amazing!

For this card, I used The Paper Studio's "Wrinkled Red Leather" and I distressed it with Staz-On Jet Black ink. The "Solid Pearl Gold" paper is also by The Paper Studio. The cardstocks are Bazzill.
The other elements I used are: dew drops from The Robin's Nest, a gold marker, watercolors, and Scor-Tape.

Your blog is wonderful! I can't believe that you design for "I Brake for Stamps". I have to give Della part of the credit for where I am today. I had posted a card made with an IBFS image. She e-mailed me and told me that I needed to add a "followers" section on my blog & start posting to Splitcoast. That's how I got asked to be on my first DT & now I'm on 3! Della was my first follower and I'll never forget that. When I have time I would love to look through your entire blog. It looks like there is loads of inspiration to be had here!
