But, what to do when you don't have any suitable images? Many crafters will look for digital images and I know there are lots out there which, if you are an expert colourer (is that a word?), will look absolutely fabulous, but I've never really got to grips with them. So, I decided to improvise with my Flock Together stamp set. I knew there was a little partridge-like bird...
Of course there are two little hens in the set, which with a little bit of crafting magic, can become....
three french hens
All I needed was a tree to complete my 12 Days Of Christmas themed card. I added some washi tapes - I wanted to add the music one to keep with thee theme, but it looked better combined with the other two. I've stamped a Christmas greeting inside.
Hope you enjoyed the story of how my card evolved, for that is surely what it did, and are inspired to give our challenge a go even if you don't have quite the right thing in your stash!
Very clever card Louise
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!!! I love the background with the stamping and washi tape. I love the way you've used all the birds in your tree - absolutely inspired!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how you got crafty and managed to cover the first 3 days with what you had already. Nice job clever lady! Hugs!! D
ReplyDeleteadorable Louise, tout les détails y sont et l'ensemble est superbe, biz
ReplyDeleteLouise, what a fabulous and fun card, your birdies really made me smile! I love the fact you included some musical washi tape to tie in with the song theme! You did a wonderful job with the theme, some out of the box thinking for sure - ingenious!
