I actually made this card for Susies birthday when the challenge was to use vellum (WT432) but I needed to wait for Susie (susie australia)to recieve it before I could post it! Happily it came yesterday..unfortuantely it was late and her birthday was a few days past but I just call that stretching out the birthday celebration!!!
I used:
Marianne Design LRO271 (leaf flourishes)
Joy Craft Butterflies
SB Resplendent Rectangles (the windows)
half pearls
Star Dust Stickles
Patterned vellum (kind of like latticework?)
Special ivory paperstock from Paper Source
Unknown Happy Birthday
Penny Black "A Day to Celebrate"
In the past I have always used one of my bird collection on my pictures I photograph outside, but we have a flock of blackbirds, (Crows, Ravens???) that are huge (we say they eat hay and could pull a wagon) and they have decided they like our front deck/porch because it has daily catfood (both wet and dry) on it. WHO KNEW they would eat catfood? AND they take it and everything else they can find and drop it in the birdbath (I assume to soften) and make a huge gicky mess out of that. One of them landed by my little white bird (my favorite) and knocked it to the ground and it shattered. When I went to replace him, they now only come in blue and green (Michaels). I was so bummed. SO my peeking bird has turned green with envy (snicker) because he would like to be in among the vines and leaves of my card that was going off to Australia... (That's my story and I am sticking to it!)
