Well...there is a story behind this card......I am supposed to be cleaning and organizing my workshop today, after doing a very simple card for the IC. And that is what I was doing until the mail came and......I received a wondrous, delightful, gift from my dear cyberfriend, Vicky Gould. In that package were some beautiful scenery stamps from Onyx Expressions. Well....once I played with them and got some advice on how to get a great image from them.....well......I just had to make a card with one of the images.......and thus this card was 'born'.........it was also (wink) inspired by the Lang calendar of songbirds, for obvious reasons.
So.....to prove to Vicky that I got a clear image AND to play with my new stamps, this is another IC card for today.......thanks, gf.
A thanks also goes to Mothermark for the fabulous pearl snowflake button I used on this card.....love those snowflakes, eh??????
AND...thanks to the rest of you for looking.
