Such a surprise to find Replacements, Ltd. to be our inspiration site today. I am registered with them looking for the name of my crystal, yes I do not remember the name, so if you know, please share! Also on this site is my good china. I am from the time when we picked out our china when we turned 16, and that is the only present we received for the next 10 years! I turn 65 in June, so, that I still like my pattern is a miracle. So of course, I picked my dishes for my inspiration.
I used stamps from the Beautiful Day stamp set. As I knew I could not make a wreath shape, I angled it so as to not look like a failed attempt. I painted with Zig brushes, stamped the bird and fussy cut, attaching her on a foam dot. My bird CC has been to the vet twice this week. Once to have her wings clipped, nails done and beak done and a general check up and two days later back as she had night fright and hurt her wing. She is swollen and on pain meds and cage rest for a time. Poor girl. So, this card is for my vet, Dr. House. She has been my vet for years and years, I had my dogs with her, and now CC.
Anyway ... sorry to go on. Thanks for having a look. aplaceforkia

Beautiful card for your vet, Kia. And, you have some pretty dishes and crystal. I found a lot of my dishes on this site, too. I am crazy for dinnerware....a bit too crazy. Poor CC, sure hope his meds work and no pain while he recuperates.

Your card is gorgeous with beautiful coloring. Did we all pick out Crystal and China when we were so young? I changed my China pattern but still love my sterling. Then my mother gave her china to my daughter, and I, of course, have it here in Carolina when she is in New York! Then I inherited another sterling silverware that is not complete but has individual butter knives that I love. I did bring my original china and crystal to Replacements years ago and received money which I used to buy Waterford when we were in Ireland. And I have my daughter’s Waterford here as well.....ugh...Again you made an awesome card!
