Morning everyone, I am really happy to share this card with you. I have never had a card come together so easily and that I was so happy with. Last night I thought I have to make a card as my desk and gear are back where they belong....although I still have a pile of paper and embellishments to sort through. When I sat at my desk I discovered the brown punched out pieces, the bird, four pink flowers and the punched leaves. I thought I might as well make a card with these rather than trying to find them a home. They were left over pieces that Ruth gave to me on the Stampin Up workshop night.
So grabbed a white pre-scored card (Blue Edge Crafts) for the base. Spied the beautiful piece of Stampin Up design paper in my scrap box. I had embossed it with the Victoria embossing folder last week to show Nana how the cuttlebug worked. I layered the green paper on some black and rolled down the top. Next I added all the pieces I had less one of the pink flowers as odd numbers always look better. I dug out some of Stampin Up buttons and threaded twine through them and attached them to the centre of the flowers. Finished with a perfect black Happy Birthday sticker. (Sticker Store)
Since I am getting back in the swing of things I have been checking out Denise's list of challenges over at Stamping Vacation. I am sure that you can find a challenge there that suits your needs and tastes. I am going to enter this in Denise's latest challenge "Animal Applause Challenge" the card needs and animal you can hold in your lap safely. I figure the bird is very appropriate. P.S. Denise is also having a DT call for all her challenges.
