I made this card the other day to send to my Mom... she is losing her sight fast... and I wanted to share this moment in her life again with her... standing on the shores up by My Great Grand parents house on Orr's Island Maine... I know that she can't see colors too much, so I used Stickles on the forsythia so that she could feel all the yellow... also on the little buds under the birds...
That DP is K and Company and a favorite spring 'blossom' to see... as I know that spring is right around the corner when I see ***** Willows...
The items that I used in todays challegne.. Many... and I hope that the number of them I used was odd too...
Three little birds who are sitting on 5 little buds, 5 yellow flowers that I drew, painted and cut out... and added beaded centers... The birds on the top of the card... 5 black ones and 9 white ones... Along with 3 white pearls... 5 green leaves. That is 7 odd numbered things... I guess I use a lot of odd numbers on my cards...
Thanks for this great Challenge and I will most likely have a few more in a little while... I always have card that I can't put into challenges for one reason or the other... so this will be good.... I can share a lot today..
Thanks for taking a look at my card...
And enjoy yourself today...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
