Finally, my computer is working again!!!! My personal technician came home from work and fixed it RIGHT away!!!! Don't forget that you MUST have all of your entries emailed to me by September 30th at 12 midnight (EST). All the details can be found HERE!!!! Here is the 4th and final sketch ~ SCS Keyword ~ JBE021 ~
Here is my card using the sketch ~
The base of my card is Chocolate Chip with a mat of Baja Breeze and then a pretty 2 tone blue piece of decorative paper from Basic Grey's Offbeat Collection (Lindsey has this collection on order and should receive it any time so if you are interested, email her HERE!). I used my photo corner punch to punch Whisper White corners and corners from another pattern of decorative paper from the Offbeat Collection. The oval on the side was cut using my oval Nestabilities. The scallop is Chocolate Chip cardstock and then an oval from the Offbeat Collection. The bird from Inkadinkado's Winter Birds Collection (these were in stock when I stamped this the other day but Lindsey can't keep them in stock!!! She does have more on order and should get them any time now!) was stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink. I used the "out of the box" technique to cut it out and then highlighted the image with Baja Breeze ink and a blender pen. I then added Stardust Stickles which don't show up very well in my picture. I then matted the image with first Chocolate Chip cardstock and then Baja Breeze cardstock. The sentiment is also by Inkadinkado and was stamped using Chocolate Chip ink on Whisper White cardstock and Baja Breeze cardstock. I cut the top Whisper White oval a little smaller than the Baja Breeze piece and mounted the Whisper White piece on top of the Baja Breeze using dimensionals.

Oh, that's my favorite paper from the Offbeat collection! And it works just perfectly with the snow bird. I love how you added the photo corners too.

So glad that you are back in computer business so you could share this gorgeous card! I'm lovin' the BG Offbeat for Christmas cards and the out-of-box technique with the beautiful bird image is so clever!
