Let's Crow -- a Birthday Card!

It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week is an "Anything Goes" theme on the TFS blog so I've made a birthday card with Pink Ink Designs' Rook and Roll Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set and Lavinia Stamps' Vine Branch Clear Polymer Stamp. I also used the Frayed Frames Die Set #26 by AALL and Create and patterned paper from the Ink Drops - Midnight 6x6 Paper Pad by Craft Consortium.

Here's the card!
