more me time

Hello Lovelies! Well I have another card to blog today - its for a good friends partners' birthday. Before I show you though just to let you know that Shaun is continuing to do well - 5 hours in his chair today and writing well to communicate - he may even get his cuff down on his tracheostomy tomorrow and then he can have a valve fitted so he'll be able to speak! Brilliant!

Here's my card for Graham - I made it in response to the Chocolate Baroque Challenge - Its a colour challenge: 

Here's what I did using the steampunk birds set and also one of the texture fragments. I also used the accordion die from Karen Burniston and distress inks (vintage photo, rusty hinge, mustard seed and frayed burlap).

I started by producing the background by inking on card and stamping then cutting with the die. I affixed the panels together then cut the squares. Next I stamped the birds and the words and added them. Then finally I added the extras.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Thanks for popping by - off to have a look around your blogs now!

Big Hugs
