Bird Song
Hey everyone! I’m back with a card to share today. How’ve you all been?
This card I made for my dear friend, the lovely Beth of StampInsanity. I needed to thank Beth in a big way for a gift she had given me – the gift of THE BROTHERS. She lent me her entire set of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, and I adore them so much it’s not even funny. If you haven’t read the books yet, READ THEM! They’re amazing!
If you’ve read the books, you might get my (admittedly vague) reference to the 5th book in the series, Lover Unbound, that I included in this card. (Once I explain the reference, that is! It’s not obvious – lol.) I was really touched by the events in that book with Vishous and the birds – I will say no more for those who might want to read the book – and this card was inspired by that. But hopefully it’s nice to look at if you have not read the books, too, so see below!
I absolutely love this stamp (the sentiment) by Verve and I was really excited about using it for this card, along with a bird stamp by Inkadinkado.
I added a bird charm attached with a bit of chain and glittered up the bird image a bit – you can see that below.
I will be back again soon to share more stuff – I have been working on SO MANY projects lately that I’m honestly losing track of all of them! They’re all in various states of completion, which is why I have not been posting much lately. Bringing them to completion – that is what I need to do right now! I can’t stop myself from starting new things before I’m done with other projects. It’s just too exciting – I HAVE to! In any event, I hope to share more here soon.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Oh, thank you so much, Margie! I get SO involved in making a dozen things at once, that I don’t actually POST much! I am going to work on it, though!
