My Great nephew is in his early 20's and is going to school to become a nurse, he is so good with people and very caring, he has picked the perfect field to go into. He has one year to go and he says this last year was the hardest yet, so he needed a nice relaxing card, and what is more relaxing then a bird sitting on a branch :) This bird sticker already had a little branch on it, but since I wanted to add my own branch from my coloring calendar to it I cut off the branch that was on the sticker.
It is hard to see but that background paper has the word Today over and over on it.

A most calming card, Connie. I love the colours you have used, the yellow and grey are perfect partners. The bird is so pretty.

ReplyDeleteConnie, I agree with you that seeing a bird sitting on a branch, most likely chirping, has a calming effect. The bird on your lovely card is so beautiful and the branch he is sitting on is gorgeous. I love the "Today" designer paper for the background! Hugs, my friend!
