Things with Wings

Time for another weekly challenge at Come and Get It Challenges . The theme this week is one of my favourites, things with wings. 

Our sponsor is A Day for Daisies and I used one of their bird theme images for my card.  The image I used is called Bird Family on a Branch. 


I used watercolours and a wink of Stella to colour my image and then cut out the image with a Sizzex die. To complete my card I added a sentiment and some flowers and pearls. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to see the creative projects of the design team.

Lets Go Shopping Challenge



Lets go shopping  is the theme of Come and Get It's challenge this week.  I do not know anyone of my girlfriends that does not like going shopping, especially for shoes and purses.  You can never have enough.
