The oh so talented, sweet and beautiful Krista is our BBTB2 hostess this week. Krista asked us to design from Birthday Bash and we could use the Armadillo cut or a Bird Cut. I don't have BB, so I went to my Give A Hoot cartridge and selected a pretty bird to work with. I found some lovely Creative Memories paper with soft colors, I created some fancy edge punching with my EK Success punches. I cut the bird twice so I could lift up the wings. I just felt this soft and gentle card should become a Sympathy card so I used one of Regina's circle sentiments from her Cutting Cafe printables. This is one of Regina's sets from 2009 and you can see the sentiments right here.
I hope that you have come my way by way of the Bitten By The Bug2 blog. I am so proud to be part of this talented design team. Thanks for your visit, and I always appreciate it when you leave a comment.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Carole. I just love your creativity with the punches. You're such an inspiration. I'm always forgetting about punches and embossing. Then I get the card done and think...shoulda used a punch, especially when I see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Sympathy card, these are always the hardest cards to do. Love your liftable wing, you know I like the little hidden message areas, lol!
