Well things have settled down here after the excitement of last week so I made time to make a card to enter into the Allsorts Challenge this week which is Feathered Friends. I've used a 5x5 card base and a stamp that was free on the front of Creative Stamping a couple of months ago, where there was a whole A4 sheet full of stamps with birds and related things. I used the Wren stamp, the reason for this is - outside my sitting room window is a large Clematis which every year blooms beautifully for a good 2 -3 months starting about the end of March beginning of April. After it finishes blooming a little wren can often be seen hopping about around the bottom of the plant, I not sure if it nests in there every year or just visits daily, I've never cut it back far enough to find out. The Wren stamp reminded me of this. I coloured my Wren using pencils and made a brushed background using distress ink pads. The sentiment comes from the same stamp sheet and the branches were from a Lavinia stamp.
Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comment which are always appreciated.
