Sketchy Thursday with Bird Flair!

Okay, so I don't have much to say today! Can y'all believe that? I don't know where today went, and it doesn't look like the next couple of days are going to slow down either.

Here's the card I did for Tracy's Thursday Sketch Challenge. The card didn't turn out quite as cool as I pictured it in my mind, but I like it anyway.

The patterned paper is Basic Grey "Urban Prairie". I picked up this obscure bird stamp at Michaels....I don't know that I have ever bought a stamp there until now....I was walking down the aisle, and I saw it out of the corner of my eye and the rest is history! The flower is prima, and I used my cuttlebug swiss dots on the soft sky cs. Besides that I used some whisper white paper, chocolate chip, and that yummy chocolate chip ribbon....it's such basic ribbon, but I love it!
