A little bird and some petals - JAI Challenge 12.

Finally I'm back. I have definitely had a little blogging holiday haven't I??? With Easter, weddings, birthdays and a brief loss of mojo my blog took a big back seat. For the first time since Just-Add-Ink started up I missed a challenge last week. Funny that it was the 'Create anything...using anything' week and I created absolutely nothing. Oooops!!!!

Well enough about that- I am back and playing with this week's Just-Add-Ink Challenge!!! This week it is a lovely sketch challenge. Here it is:



I am so so happy with my card for the challenge- in fact I am going to go as far as to say I love it. I have been wanting to use this little birdy in the cage (from the Happy Moments Sale-A-Bration set) for forever and finally I have. Funny seeing as Sale-A-Bration has just ended! Anyway I wanted to make a really pretty card using the bird cage, flowers and my new Rich Razzleberry card, ink and ribbon and Cottage Wall DSP- so TA DA here it is:



Bird and Petals Card Ingredients

Stamp sets: Happy Moments; Petal Pizzazz; Eastern Blooms; Simply Said
