Wow, that was a long week! Sorry about that! I saw my doctor the day after we got back from Minnesota and he had an unexpected opening in his schedule. I jumped on it and had a total knee replacement on Dec. 9th.
My schedule has been very hectic with PT and healing, but I have had some time to create, just not to blog about it!
This card was inspired by Debby at something-oodle blogspot. I have spent countless hours trying to find her original post without success. Debby, with all my respect and admiration, I have R & D'd your card.
(R&D = rip off and duplicate).
I changed the template by flipping it horizontally. This was because the only bird I had that would work was facing the left, not the right. I hand-stamped the background damask pieces with a CTMH background builder set. I modified the sentiment to Happy Birthday. And I LOVE this card! All CTMH products, colors are Canary, Glacier, Whisper, and Slate. The sentiment is black on vellum.
For those who care; our trip home was "different" with a circus of things all surrounding poor Mr. Bilbo Baggins. Long story short, I swear he kissed the ground when he stepped out of his carrier inside my home in Mesa. LOL
