Blue bird

Hi there

A wonderful cool Sunday morning in the desert... an occasion to celebrate... as soon the days will get longer and hotter  :'-(

I made this card for the "one layer-birds" challenge at less is moore. I only had this one challenge in mind, but as I took the pictures and started with the post, I realized that in a CAS way this is also a collage of stamps, so I decided to enter it to the just us girls challenge to create a card by using the collage stamping technique.

My cousin sent me this gorgeous gift all the way from South-Africa. I just love the birds... and not only was this the inspiration for this card, but also the template!

  5. I am loving these C&S cards of yours Hannelie. Dit pas jou perfek! Do you emboss the image and sentiment or just leave it plain? We're having HOT weather in CT again today, tomorrow 37degrees, but then I'll be back in an airconned office ;) hugs Sharon x
