..cards that is!

Unlike yesterday where I had to play and revise for the reversed polished stone technique, today’s card is a total back to basics card! The base of the card is a 1/2 sheet of Very Vanilla paper. I 1st stamped the tree from the new SU! set Branch Out in Choc. Chip ink. I added the leaves in 3 colors-Mellow Moss, Kiwi Kiss, and Garden Green.

I thought it needed a *touch* of color so I added in the little bird from the set In Red Riding Hood perched up high since Phoebe and I watched a little bird hop all around the ice on our deck while she and I were eating lunch. To bring out that red a bit more I stamped the “thinking of you” in Red Riding Hood (from the Bird in a Branch set)  and added a touch of Red Riding Hood Ribbon.

Less than 3 minutes start to finish!

*little aside-the little things in life can be so much more fun with a toddler. I noticed the birdie outside and pointed him out to Phoebe. Everytime the bird hopped from one part to another she would laugh and point and say “burrd, burrd” and then watch until it hopped again. When it went UNDER the table on our deck that was apparently SOOO FUNNY and she laughed and laughed! It was a happy lunch to say the least!
