For my card, I used Waffle Flower's Little Birdie dies and sentiments to create a birthday/support greeting for a dear friend who is going through a very hard time. I decided to do an arch shaped card. I smooshed on a piece of cardstock picking up inks that I did not want to waste another project (channeling my inner Michele Ferguson), and added the die cuts from Little Birdie, placing birdie on a piece of vellum.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog and see what Jolanda and the Design Team have come up with to inspire you. Hoping you will be inspired to join us in the gallery!
