My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
My card today is a shaped card from Craftwork Cards. The cards are white which looked a bit stark so I covered the front with cream cardstock and cut out the shape with a knife - quite fiddly ! It was then extremely simple. I used candi, again from Craftwork Cards, and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaf spray is a Woodcraft punch. The bird is a white diecut that I sponged with Versacolour Mocha Truffle. I lined the inside with a K and Company paper that I have had for years and because the bird is visible from the inside too I gave him a brown pearly eye on both sides. I think I'll probably remove the bow; I think it might just be overkill! I've put no greeting or sentiment on but that is easily remedied later.
Well that's it for me today. I'm going off to hop around your blogs now and see what you have been up to!
Love and hugs from Christine xx

Hi Christine - I haven't seen this shape before and I lurve it!! My guess is you can do quite a lot with one of the blanks. I love your creation and the little birdie with two brown pearly eyes!! Hope they are level - lol!! This is beautiful.
