I wasn't going to do this TLC simply because I'm not creative when it comes to this kind of challenge! But then I saw this card by hobbydujour and thought I'd give it a try!
Another Sneak Peek, the Lily of the Valley is from Easter Blessings, the verse from The Lord Has Risen, being released March 1st from Our Daily Bread designs!
Stamped and masked on Kraft, colored with Prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil.
The bird is from a scrap of paper from the trash, already sponged from a previous project! Punched it with a balloon punch and cut part off. The wing and beak are scraps from Spellbinders Lattice die.
I embossed Labels Eleven for a frame for the verse.

Well, Dawn, I'm not sure for what kind of thing you are not considering yourself very creative, but that is the most adorable and creative bird I think I've ever come across!! How very darling, and I love the sweet lily of the valley/picket fence bg that sets him/her off so beautifully.

Oh no - not another tempting ODBD set!! I'll have to start a birthday wishlist as I am maxed out on discretionary spending. I LOVE lilies of the valley, the flowers and the scent. They remind me of my mother.
I'm loving these balloon birds too, I've only ever used my balloon punches for fish - and balloons, of course.
