Birds,birds, birds

Hello again,

Another new challenge over at Ruby's Rainbow and it's Vickie's turn to choose the theme of:

'For the Birds'

For my card I used a couple of embossing folders, cut out a circle, inked up the embossed parts with Tumbled glass distress ink, stamped a sentiment,popped some bakers twine on and found a little charm.
I decided that I didn't want to stamp an image on my card this time, I fancied doing something a bit different for me and with cleaner lines and less embellishments.

The rest of the teamies have made some amazing and inspiring creations so why not pop over and join in with us.

I made this card for my Mum and Bob to thank them for having me when I was up in Scotland for a week and they recently sent me and Shamus a food processor with a blender which I love. Mind you the first day we had it and I'd washed it up Shamus cut his hand on the blades when drying it up then a week later I caught my thumbs on them too - d'oh.....

Challenges:
Thanks for popping by, have a lovely day whatever you're up to.

Hugs Debs x
