"Birds of a feather flock together" at TIME OUT


Hi friends!
There's a new challenge for you at TIME OUT Challenges: We are inspired by words

"Birds of a feather flock together" 

This might lead you to birds, love, feathers... My inspiration is obvious although the two lovebirds (stamps by Avocado Arts) look quite small in comparison with the big punched leaves... And maybe the double-frame looks a bit heavy too.. In case you didn't yet realize it, this card is definitely not one of my favorites!! :) Sometimes you have a clear vision of what you want to make and then it just doesn't work.. No matter how many days (!) you try to put the card together. Maybe a re-make next week. :)

I hope to see you all playing along at TIME OUT! If you need more inspiration, check out the DT cards here: I just love our DT and the cards the girls provide us every time. Beautiful work challenge after challenge! We also have a guest designer, Jill V, she made a stunning Christmas card with birds... Great idea, Christmas is soon around the corner!! 

Happy crafting everyone!

  7. Kiva kortti, Nonni! Kiitos kommentista blogissani. Olen joo suomalainen ja vieläpä pohjosesta miekin! Ja hiljattain olen alkanut bloggailla vasta ja hurahdin kyllä täysin näihin haastekisoihin...

  9. Yes I do think the birds look small compared to the leaves, but I think that is its charm. It's not a quick glance kind of card - you have to look at the detail and the detail is enchanting.
