HOW IT ALL STARTED..


Hello everyone..

I was going through my photo files trying to tidy up a bit and found this folder with background over stamping, or negative, whatever, and it was the first one that I had ever done it and was supposed to be the first one I showed you, anyway, found it, and here it is.


This was made when I was spraying leaves yellow and it was so pretty when I took the leaf die cut off, I had to trim it and keep it for a card..


Used my favourite birdhouse die and little bird...


Cut more branches and daisies and popped them on the card with a thinking of you sentiment..


A side view..all full of sunlight through the window..


A close up of the birdie and birdhouse..


And after days and days of Winter rain came some sunshine, but too watery to dry washing properly so I threw it onto the bed in the sun to air, and guess who found it...yep, a white cat....black cardigan and black pants now all white and fluffy...gotta love her though..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Your card is gorgeous Chrissy. You make such wonderful cards with birds and flowers. And Holly knows just how to be naughty and get away with it. Glad that my cat isn't the only one, lol.

Gorgeous card Chrissy- another example of how you never waste anything, the background paper is beautiful! Love the way you colour your die cuts too, it makes them look so realistic.
Yup- just love it when I stay at my son's to babysit- doesn't matter where I put my clothes their cat always manages to make a nest out of them- she's ginger so the hairs show up well on everything !

This is really lovely and such an inventive way to use up that pretty paper. Just look at that cheeky puss, she was obviously helping to dry the laundry by keeping it warm!! xx

This is amazing! I love the birdhouse, but in your hands it is over the top perfection!

Love how you used the leftover piece as background. The big size birdhouse is so beautiful and you always pick the perfect spots for your flowers.
