Miss you bird


This was a card for a challenge that I never got to enter. It called for a wood/ chip somewhere on the project. This happens to be a little bird. I used coordinating paper on a blue strip with red enamel dots. Finally a chance to use it now!  1 bird, 2 scraps of paper and 3 enamel dots.

The image is Becky’s elf. I colored with pencils, fussycut him out and layered him on a brown paper which I also cut around and used a Christmas background paper. I used a little tag with a little Brad for the sentiment. And a few little gemstones to finish it off . Cute little kids card.   CAS

Welcome to another week at PIP. 
We here in Iowa have been battling the influenzas, strep and pneumonia..so this little set by our great sponsor Lawn Fawn was very fitting for my card this week!
I started with cream cardstock, used the skeleton from a die that I had used recently and used small dies and fussycut around the small images to place in the center. Also used an oval die for the sentiment. 
Come join the fun this week and pop over to lawn Fawn to check out the great images!
