Bald Eagle Birthday Card - Technostamper sketch challenge

 For some reason, when I saw the sketch I visualized a masculine birthday card.  Here's how I made it.
Stamp: In Wildness
Ink: Early Expresso
Paper:  Early Expresso card stock forms the base of the card.  The first layer is Very Vanilla, which was embossed with the polka dot embossing folder and lightly inked with Early Expresso ink. 
The bald eagle was stamped with the Early Expresso ink on Very Vanilla card stock, the edges of which were sponged with tink.
The Scallop edge, made with the Scallop Edge punch, is Early Expresso card stock.
Designer paper is To The Nines Specialty paper (retired),the bottom edge of which was rounded with the corner rounder punch.  The banner is also from the same designer series paper. All edges of the designer paper were sponged with ink.
The buttons were made using the new Buttons #5 die and the Big Shot.  Twine was inserted through the button holes and tied in a know, and attached to the card using dimensionals.
