Can't believe I use to make a card a day for over 3-4 years. Now I barely get one done in a week or two. Where did my time go?
Had a fun time putting this one together today. Just like the old days, I started it before I left for work. Got home and put it altogether.
All the parts were either cut out or die cut. Dry embossed the raindrops then sponged on the blue so they stood out.
The umbrella was a metal stencil that I put embossing paste on. Had all day to dry.
The flowers were die cut using a left over gelli print.
The birdie, best part, was stamped, colored with copics then cut out. I LOVE this bird crazy set of Tim Holtzs. They just make me smile!
While at Wal-Mart today using the restroom, I strolled by the hair section and found these little black flowers with stick-em on the back. Like those would stay in your hair. Anyway, thought these would look good on a card. So I bought them. hehe
Put this altogether on a large black card. Done. Hope this puts a smile on your face like it did mine. Thanks Sabrina for a fun challenge. TFL :0)

Oh Cathy, I know just what you're talking about. I still get some cards done, but I sure miss the days when I had time for all the daily challenges without combining. I'm glad you had time today - and had this darling little bird to play with! They seem to be a really hot item just now! Your stencilled umbrella is fab - love it when I am awake enough to start something before work and it's ready to move on when I get home.

This is so perfect! I laughed out loud at the birdie looking up at the sky. Every element you chose added another touch of wonderful - I LOVE this card!

Oh, I've missed you and your work and kind words! This bird is so dang cute. I cracked up about your Walmart purchase. You never know where a crafting supply might turn up!
