GOOOOOOOD Afternoon!!!
Okay, so if you've read the post title, you probably expected a bird somewhere right?
You've scrolled down, had a gander at my card, and spotted a bunny...
If you are a smart cookie, you'll have realised that bunnys don't have feathers,
and are assuming I've lost my marbles.... right?
ahhhhhh... look closer my friend...
of course I'm refering to the feather in the gorgeous Lil Ivy's top hat!!
now, said feather was not meant to be there... I sneeked it in....
and why? because this weeks challenge over at Tickled Pink is add a feather!!!
Now, I didn't have an actual feather anywhere in my stash... and believe me I CHECKED!!
Hubby is working a million hours overtime this week, so no chance of crafty shopping! and I'm too impatient to wait for an online order to be delivered...
(I did for a fleeting moment think about the river, and swans... but we don't need to dwell on that)
SOOOO I doodled a 'sort of' feather and stuck it to her top hat!!
BINGO!!
I'm not sure if this is cheating, but I'm going to enter it anyway.... shhhhh, they might not notice!
I decided to try a shaped card again... but this time I've gone for loads of different size nestie labels
(truth be known, I've run out of square card blanks...lol!)
I've coloured Ivy with my promarkers and pencils...
The papers are allsorts...
'My Friend' sentiment is from the greeting farm spotlight set...
everything else from stash
(yeah, I'm too lazy to list it all!)
and naturally, edge doodling to finish...
I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges...
Crazy 4 Challenges - shaped card
Fuzzy Wuzzy - Shaped card (+animal)
Glitter geeks - Furry or feathered friend
Stampin' for the weekend - spots and dots
MAWTT - Don't be square
Thanks for stopping by today!!

Hi Paula, what a great idea to draw the feather, although you did make me laugh with the river and the swan comment!! Great card as usual. Thanks for sharing with us at MAWTT this week, good luck! Pami x
Fabulous card Paula.
I love the different shapes, and your feather is a very clever idea and looks perfect on her hat.

It is always a pleasure to come and see your creativity Paula - this is just full of total gorgossity!
This is awesome Paula! I love the feather! I saw that challenge and decided I couldn't enter it as I don't have any feathers either (the ducks down the road only crossed my mind for a second... promise). Now you've inspired me, but I don't think I have time to make a card!
Love the shaped card idea! I hate when I run out of card blanks.
