The Girly Birdie

 We had the bird and now we have the girly birdie for the sister in law.  I always try to do her birthday cards in pink because she's a breast cancer survivor and that's my way to tell her I'm so thankful she's celebrating another cancer free birthday.  Besides that, she's a pink type of gal.


 The stamp I used is from a very old set from The Alley Way Stamps.  They are sadly no longer in business and but had the cutest stamps.   Anyway.....I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and will enter it in their challenge.  This is colored in Copics, some pink clouds added, patterned paper from My Favorite Things (I think) and a small die cut pink heart.  


Thanks for stopping by.......and keep smiling..(Oh, and shake those tail feathers too)!!

She is going to love this! A fun image colored so sweet and I love the plaid paper. I want to shake my tail feathers but I think they're falling out.

OMGosh Lynn, I LOVE this card for your SIL!!!! I love that you always do a pink card for her since she is a breast cancer survivor. That is so perfect! I love the clouds/sky-that looks amazing in the pink, of course you know I love the pattern paper, and the bird-well she still makes me smile from ear to ear! I also love pink, so this card is right up my ally color wise. LOL Your SIL will love it and I'm glad she is cancer free and celebrating another trip around the sun! Hugs, Brenda
