Vintage Bird

I haven't really had much time to play with my goodies from the

mini catalogue, so with the kids being off school and no work for

me for 2 weeks, I have managed to find some extra time at my craft desk.

I have really enjoyed playing with the Vintage Vogue stamp set.

It looks fab!!!

And makes getting the vintage look soooo easy!!

I have teamed it with the lovely bird punch, which works really

well with this stamp set.

I created the background using the swirly stamp from the set and

Close to Cocoa ink. Before I stamped it on my card I stamped on some

scrap paper first to take off the excess ink to get a more subtle look.

The flowers are stamped in Rose Red and Pretty in Pink with So Saffron 

brads for the centres.

I also added a "Julie" bow with some of the yummy

new satin ribbon.

Right I'm off to find something to entertain the boys

while I get creative in the kitchen and do some more cleaning.

We have friends coming for dinner tonight.

Hope you have a good weekend!
