I have really missed posting my cards on a Wednesday for
The Perfect Sentiment, thankfully things are all back to normal now. I did post a card for them last week, but it felt strange....feels more normal this week lol!!
Anyhoos we have a fab theme for you to follow this week
THE GREAT OUTDOORS!
I just loved making this card, its so not me! No cute anything in sight just a gorgeous birdie & I took my time colouring him up three time & then decoupaged him up....you will see the layers better in my last photo....

Hi Shell - this card is so beautifully made - I love your colouring! Great choice of papers and he really (why have I automatically thought of him as 'he'??) anyway he really is a cute little image. Love how you have distressed the edges as well.
Thank you so much for joining us at OSAAT this week, I do hope we see more of your creations very soon.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx DT member
Please pop over to check out my optician story, along with my card. Talk about embarrassing myself.
What a totally natural card, I'm terrified of birds and I must say, your bird and your colouring of him kept him so realistic that he sent shivers up my spine. :-) The embellishments have complemented the 'Outdoors Theme' so well. Good luck with your entry into out challenge. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
This is fabulous Shell - if it's not you - I definately think you should make it you! - the colouring and decoupage are just brilliant - I'm very impressed! Hugs Judith x
