A Little Blue Bird

I have often looked at the challenges on Casual Fridays and they are always brilliant and I always miss the deadline! Now, with 8 hours to go I've made it! The challenge was to use text and so I used a new stamp from Waltzing Mouse stamps to create the  background.  I thought of the words of the sentiment and  they went well with the idea.  I used my 2 step bird punch from SU and added a little shiney blue eye as my token 'bling' Here's a close up the little bird..
I made the whole thing in blue to fit another challenge from Addicted to Stamps which is a new challenge blog with some fantastic, inspirational ideas- have a look for yourself.
Got to dash now, daughter's leaving ceremony and I am running late...........
