Birthday Card

Hello Folks.  Here I am again, with the card I made for my younger daughters Birthday.   The dies were cut with my early Birthday gift from OH,  what a difference it makes to my hands too.   Love it.  The little blue tit was fun to make using a mould and air dried clay.   I need to practice my painting though,  but it looked ok.  The flower was made from a Stampin Up punch.  
Been really busy though,  as we put in French doors and windows and of course it was delayed ,  they are in now and Andrew can get into the garden more easily.   Then of course we decided to carpet both sitting room and stairs, and then decided to paint etc. as well as having deeper skirting boards put on.  Painter coming on Sunday.  Carpet going in next Thursday and then I will need to organize the house.   So not had much time for myself.  Anyway, I hope you are all well , even though the weather here is awful. .  See you on Sunday or maybe Monday with the CCC card.    Hugs Rita xxxx

I love that pretty die-cut frame - the delicate lacy look works so well with the pretty pale blue - just lovely.

Love your card Rita! The die cutting is gorgeous and reminds me of beautiful expensive lace. I've two bird moulds and need more because I love creating them with clay and painting them to fit the project.
I have made them from Friendly Plastic strips and granules too. The bird looks beautifully coloured and as soon as I saw it I knew what it was xx
