Bird on branch

-
Good evening everyone!  Hope you had a great Monday. Mine was just... well a Monday lol.  Nothing special, or horrible but nothing super exciting either... except that I was a top 5 at Love to create yay ;o)

In order to feel a bit more alive after such a blah day I crafted a little card with a freebie I had gotten from Sami Stamp I didn't have time to play in their last challenge and really didn't  want to miss out this time.  I also got this month's freebie.  I might use her on a later card.  But tonight I was in a bird type of mood.  Ready to fly away lol.  And also in a kind of fall mood... it was fairly frisky today.  I think this next weekend I will have to put my summer clothes away :(  So sad... Not ready for fall... don't misunderstand me I really love fall but I think our summers are way too short here.  Especially since it wasn't a really warm one either.

Anyway back to my card ;o)

The paper is from Kaser Craft - Peachy keen Collection.  I used my small and my fleur de lis rectangles as well as my scallop and large circle from Spellbinder.  I also used my leafy flourish SD013 signature die from Joanna Sheen.  I added a large flower from Prima.

Here's a closer look at the digi colored with my copics and the sentiment from Create with TLC.
I followed this awesome sketch:

    Oh wow, this is so pretty Vicky. I love how you smudged and antiqued up around the image. Such pretty papers too. Congrats on your win!

    Yes, fall is fast approaching. It is time to cover up and remove the window air conditioners and trade in for warmer clothes. Have fun changing out what I am sure is a rather substantial wardrobe given where you work. Good luck! I just move things from one side of the closet to the other. ;O)

    Hugs,
