MyUnityPlace Challenge {1 Layer card}

I figured since the example card showed a ribbon across the top then a bit of twine would be ok as well :-) Here's my creation:
I'm really happy with how it turned out. To make this a one layer card, I stamped the image on my card & on a scratch piece of cardstock, then I fussy cut the scratch on out & used temporary glue dots to place it directly on top of the image I'd stamped on the card, next I used 3 different Smooch Spritz to spray the card, next I stamped the music with StazOn on top of the scratch bird as well, last I removed the scratch bird & tadah... white bird is "on top" of everything else.

Products Used:Stamps all from Unity, Twine from The Twinery, ink-Black StazOn, green-CTMH

So my friends over at CropChocolated wanted to see "the reverse" which isn't a 1-layer card but uses the overlay bird on black cardstock... I reversed everything I thought would look good & NICE - Thanks Girls!

What do you make when you're on a DT with a color combo and the colors just don't work for your brain? Think outside your normal box, or in my case no scrapbook page or card would work for me. Here's my creations:
