Hello! I haven't done a lot of card-making lately. I have been jewellery making and going to weekly pottery classes. So far I have made a bowl and a quail who looks like a potato. He started off life as a pigeon but progressively got fatter and looked more strange as I went on. I have other 'bird potatoes' on the go too. They are found on the shelf and people say, 'Oh it's just one of April's bird potatoes!' Hopefully I will soon have a finished one to show you here!!
My pocket card was inspired by the colour scheme over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
When I was on the Design Team of this lovely challenge blog, I must confess that combinations involving yellow and orange used to make me gulp a bit! However, now I feel strangely drawn to them as a festive combo, so here is the result! I have used Merry Patterns, a SU stamp set from last year with Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red.
I found the card design here. It is a great way of using up snippets, so I made another one -
two cards in one day!!
I have been AWOL from the Playground for far too long!! Sending Di and Parsnip a big hug at Pixie's Snippets Playground.
Happy crafting! April x

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the 'potato birds' - nly you, only you! Actually, baby partridges always remind me of potatoes with beaks when you see them running around :)
