Simple Salutations challenge 45 - Birds of a feather

***if you are here for MFP May blog hop please scroll down for my post or click here***

Today is Wednesday and that means it time for Simple Salutations challenge 45.  The theme is Birds of a feather so that means you can choose to stamp a bird or just feathers on your card.  Me I had to be an overachiever so I did both.  First I stamped the background with a feather using Encore ink.  I used Encore ink for all images on my card.  Encore ink pads are a beautiful pigment ink with shimmer to them and because they are a pigment ink they do take a little time to dry.  Now back to my card I stamped the peacock with the same ink pad and die cut her with a Nestabilities book label die then taped to purple cardstock with the corners done with SU ticket punch.  I free cut

a banner and mounted it to the front of my card with foam mounting tape but first I did stamp the saying.  Hope you like my Birds of a feather card and decide to join us at Simple Salutations 45 this week.  This beautiful butterfly stamp will be given to the random winner in our drawing this week.  Good Luck!
