Birthday card featuring a sparrow photo, some ribbon and a fancy greeting

I made this card for my Dad whose birthday was this weekend.  He will get a surprise in the mail instead of it being delivered in person. 

I started with a large blue envelope and created a blue card to fit inside.  I found this wonderful music paper in my stash (donation from my sister) so I trimmed out a piece for my background.  I trimmed this sparrow photo from a calendar page (photo calendar from my sister) added some rows of paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel and then mounted it onto black cardstock.  I added a strip of black cardstock below to which I had tied three little pieces of ribbon and a chalk board greeting with little white brads.  Therese
