All occasion cards featuring bird photos and paper pieced backgrounds

Another couple cards for my sister from her stash.  For the first one I stamped and clear embossed a feather on the black card in two opposing corners.  I used the same stamp with red ink on red paper to create custom paper for my background.  I trimmed the paper to fit on my card in the two other corners and then added my blackbird photo layered with black in the center of the card.  To finish off it off nicely I added three little black circle punchies in black just below the photo.  The photos are from photo calendars which my other sister produces every year from her photography of that year.  

The next card has a paper pieced background to which I added a brown strip and then three coordinating brads at the top.  After adhering my background to my brown card I added the photo of a Wilson Snipe with two coordinating strips of blue cardstock adhered to the back at the top and bottom using 3D foam tape.
