Sublime

Time has simply flown and I am beginning to wonder what I am doing as I never seem to have a lot of time recently to do anything!

A friend's birthday is fast approaching and my card stash didn't have a lot in it so I have made this.

She is a no fuss or frills person but she does love her garden and birds so thought these stamps from Penny Black called Sublime would be perfect.

The little birdie is so cute!

Using watercolour card I stamped the floral spray off the edge a couple of times using Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink.

Images were coloured with Aquarelle pencils and the sentiment is from SU.

She will love this card with flowers and a sweet bird. I sure know what you mean about the time. We're half way through August and it was just the first!

I'm sure your garden loving friend will just love this card. Time does seem to fly - can hardly believe we are almost into September and then before we know it will be Christmas 😉

I know exactly what you mean about time. It is the same for me. I love your card. That rose is so pretty with the little bird and I love how it climbs perfectly round your card leaving plenty of gorgeous white space. She will love it. I certainly do xx
