Hi friends!
It's time again for another challenge over at
our challenge is brought to us by DT member, Steph!
Her challenge: Creating a background with stamps.
My head was swimming with ideas as soon as I saw this challenge
and knew I wanted to work with this stamp ~ the absolutely My head was swimming with ideas as soon as I saw this challenge
gorgeous Wood Grain backgrounder stamp.
*Swoon!*

I stamped it out in a variety of colors and
ended up going with a rich, darker brown.
I wanted to keep my card simple, so I added a simple grosgrain ribbon,
twine and Cardinal bird image, also from Cornish Heritage Farms ..
and a little button to finish it off.
I added a tiny bit of glitter dust to the leaves - hard to catch on film :)
Simple but quiet, serene, peaceful ♥

Before I go, you may remember on this post a small bird that dh
brought home after a storm - found on the sidewalk with no mommy,
no nest, no shelter :*( My daughter nursed it through the night
around the clock and the next day we took it took a bird sanctuary.
It turns out it was around 10 days old or so and a morning dove ~
they graciously took it in and called us a week or so later to tell
us it had done quite well and released back into the wild!
Such a happy ending!

ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the knot in the woodgrain, it looked like an elephant eye to me. Is that weird, or what? lol
