My first DT card for Artists Inspiration

First i would like to say that i am now a very Proud Member of the Artists Inspiration  Challenge Blog and this is my first Card as a member of the DT. So please pop over to the blog and see the fabulous work by the rest of the DT.
I am so pleased to be doing this Card as it is always nice to use different images and this one came to me as soon as i saw it what i wanted to make with it. I think this one could be a male or female card which for me is always very handy to add to my male card stash.

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges.
613 Avenue Create Challenge    Anything Goes - pile it on (optional)
Creative Inspiration    Anything Goes Paint
Electic Ellapu   Masculine
One Stitch at a time  Use a Digi


The image i have used for this card is from  QKR Called Bird box and Vines, coloured with Copics.
The Cardstock to make the stepper card is from Stash.
The die cut is an Xcut large dies and the sentiment die cut is a Spellbinders Shapeabilities.
The little birds are a Martha Stewart punch and stamp.
Embellishments from Stash


Thank you for taking the time to pop over to my space and looking and any comments left are always read and greatly appreciated.

  15. Joan~I love this. One of the things that it brings to mind is my great grandmother. She had these flowers in her garden. When I see them it is the first thing I think of. Thanks for playing in our neighborhood at 613 Avenue Create. We look forward to seeing you again.
    Hugs ~
