Spring Bird

 The card I'm sharing today covers a couple of challenges set by the talented Darnell.  Firstly for her I.D.E.A.S where there is a rolling theme through the month with a different technique or 'idea' for each week.  I'm not sure I've explained this too well but you can read all about it if you follow the link to her blog 😊. Secondly this card will fit with the NBUS challenge where we are encourage to knuckle down and actual use some of our 'never before used schtuff'.

The ideas theme this week is to use dies - the circle and of course the bird and flowers.  The circle die I've had for ages but the bird on the floral branch is definitely NBUS..  I selected a square scalloped card and a piece of patterned paper from my stash and then die cut the circle and other elements from bits and pieces from my ever-growing snippets collection.  A simple stamped and die cut sentiment added - job done!!
