Hi Peeps, well, I just had to play again at Out of a Hat Creations; Summertime...this time to include my birdies , which is a big part of my summer pleasures, especially watching and hearing them bathe in the bird bath...
I made a window card by recycling a Kleenex box ( since I don't have any of those fancy machines ! ), keeping the tab on the side to create more movement to the card. Since it is an oversized card, I recycled cereal boxes to use as cardstock...
I used these gorgeous feathers all around the frame:
Distressed some lace to use around my flowers ; thinking of a bird's nest.
For the flip side of the frame, I embossed in green and gold.
I fell in love with this image when I saw it as a free download on Trisha's blog French Kissed...I love that the writing is in french!!!
Thanks for peeking, love G.
Gisele this is just fantastic and I just love all the recycling you have done to make it. Such great use of the image-I saved it as well.

Hi Gisele, WOW! just love this card. And fantastic that you have made it out of a tissue box and cereal box. Gorgeous image and how you have used the lace. I love the birds in my garden too. Thank you for joining us at Out of A Hat. Hugs Sandra XXX

ReplyDeleteGiselle, I can't thank you enough for starting my week on such a bright note! Merci beaucoup for crediting FrenchKissed as your bird image source. I love the lacey strings you added around the flowers -- perfect for a bird's nest:) Have your ears been burning? I was talking about you on my blog when I posted this week's free download. http://frenchkissedpostcards.blogspot.com/2012/07/row-row-row-your-boat.html
