I've got a card to share with you that I made recently, it totally fits my Spring mood as I've been watching the flowers start and the birds come back.

Products used:

Instructions:
 
Stamp music background on white card stock using light coloured ink diagonally on the base card stock.  Then create a mask with another piece of paper by cutting out the centre with the nestie die cut.  Use this mask to add orange colour to the centre of the card as shown.  This can be done with sponges, however in this case I used E97 and Y000 with the Copic airgun, concentrating on the outside edges of the circle.  Then I
stamped the image of the bird in the centre using black memento, and coloured with Copics.  After that I used the sewing machine to add stitching to the edges, distressed the edges too, then assembled over layers as shown in photo.

The flowers and leaves on the edges were stamped on coloured card stock and cut out using die cuts.  Then, I used my scissors to quickly cut off the edges of the flowers so that they had straight edges rather than rounded edges, to coordinate better with the  flowers in the bird image, and added rhinestones to the centres.  The flowers and leaves were adhered with various heights of dimensionals/pop up dots.
