Yesterday we had a strange day weather-wise - a bit of everything. But in the evening, the wind died down, and there was a really pleasant sky, full of changing pastel colours. I took the photo from my balcony. My camera isn't able to catch the colours well, I use the camera on an ancient mobile phone, but I think it looks like the sky has been distressed with various TH blue inks!
I made this card for a birthday, using a card Donna sent me a couple of years back as inspiration. The recipient of the card is a psychologist, so I used a page from Webster's dictionary with different psychological definitions. I cut the bottom of the paper with a Martha Stewart punch, and layered some old ledger paper under it. The die-cut bird, ribbon and ledger paper were also from Donna, so thanks for the inspiration! And as Donna is a poor, sick little chicken right now, with a bad bout of bronchitis, get well soon!
That's all for today, have a good day, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Lovely photo and a great card! Hugs, Sarah
