This is another of the designs I've put together for my little old stall at the local fayre/fete - call it what you will. I'll be making quite a few of these for people to pur-chase, as time is of the essence and I'm sure you also find that the time consuming part of making a card is the actually designing. I'll probably shake things up a bit by changing the colour scheme, but the layout should stay the same.
The birdie comes from a fantastic punch I got my hands on a couple of months ago from Stampin' Up, and it's gorgeous for creating lots of lovely cards! Here I've punched out the pieces with differently coloured core'dinations cardstock, and inked the edges with Colorbox chestnut ink to add definition. I cut my scalloped mat and circle using my Quickutz nesting dies, and the light blue paper is from my scrap box. The greeting is from a Woodware set that I've had for ages, and of course, my card would be incomplete without a little hand drawn border around the circle.
Hopefully have some pictures and the whole Alton Towers debacle tomorrow, but to be blatantly honest, I haven't the energy to type it at the moment!
Hope you're having a great day - thanks for stopping by!
