Once again, the majority of the products I used are from Tim Holtz. I began by cutting a postage stamp frame from Distress cardstock. The pattern paper is from his Wallflower collection and is embossed with a folder from the Bird Talk #2 stamp/die set. I highlighted the embossed areas with Viva gold paste. The bird, present and balloon were stamped, die cut and then colored with Distress markers. The grass was cut from Distress cardstock using an Eileen Hull die. Sequins from Studio Katia were added for some sparkle. I also used Wink of Stella on the hat, balloon and bow. The stamped sentiment is also from the Bird Talk#2 set.
Well, my friends, that's all for me today. I do have a favor to ask. My mother is experiencing health issues and has given up. Please keep her in your prayers. I don't usually post personal issues here but I am at a loss in what to do. Thank you.
Oh such a fun card, love the birdie.... and I send you my love and prayers for your Mum, and you too Patti in this difficult situation, that God will be with you and help you both... sending a hug across the miles... xx
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable, Patty! I so love those Crazy Birds!
ReplyDeleteReally very sorry to hear about your mother's health issues, though! Keeping you all in my thoughts and sending tons of hugs your way!

Oh, Patty, I'm so sorry to hear your Mom is doing poorly and is filled with hopelessness. I will certainly pray for her to feel His comfort and grace.

Hi Patty! After being away most of the year due to my father's health, I am happy to return to the crafty part of my life... life must go on, right? I have missed you! Please know that I am praying for your mom and your family. I am so sorry about all that is happening. I am here if you need me.
