Artful Times New Challenge - Birds

Well, we managed to have a few more entries last time and we are hoping for more for this one as Wendy has chosen "Birds".  I think everyone likes birds and I was delighted not long ago to see a woodpecker visiting us again.  He was having a good old go at the branch - wonder if it is the same one we saw once before?  Today it looks as if the Coal Tits are back, we really need to get another nesting box up and I am hoping they still get fed each morning as I am away with a friend of mine this weekend. More on that another day.

Here is my little card


I made this for this challenge but with the idea of sending it off to someone to let them know I was thinking of her.  Lost it!  Honestly, that's the second or third thing I have totally misplaced recently. Found it when it was too late and I had had to make another card - under the cover of the scanner. Why did I not think to look there!

I cannot remember who makes this stamp, looks like an Inkadinkadoo to me.  I stamped and embossed it in black and then coloured in with a tiny paintbrush and my H2o's.  I chose those because of the great colours they come in and also because of the sparkle they give.

Luckily I found some paper which co-ordinated very well with the colour on the flower and I just left it plain with just the mount as I am sure the person it was intended for would prefer a CAS card to a fussy one.

Why not pop along to Artful Times and see what our Guest Designer came up with this time.  It is the second time for Chris and I would like to thank her for joining us and hope she enjoyed making the cards as much as we enjoyed seeing them.
