Addicted to Stamps Challenge #95

Finished my vacuuming, now time to post another card. I decided to join the challenge at Addicted to Stamps
this week as I don't think I've joined in before and I thought the photo inspiration would be a real challenge for me!
Isn't this gorgeous?!! This was a real brain strain for me as I:
- don't have any bird stamps
- don't have any flower stamps
- don't have any branch/tree stamps
- don't even have any brown ink
I could have just made a card in pink and brown but wanted to try something different.

Then I remembered my tiny stash of Xmas stamps, so came up with this:

I have one set of Xmas stamps from Lawn Fawn and in them there are these two cute little birds. So I paired them up with the heart and laurel branch...voila! Its very simple and no where near as incredible as the other cards linked to the challenge but its all stamped, which for me is quite amazing.

Birds, heart and laurel branch from Lawn Fawn 'Peace Joy Love', sentiment stamp from Kaisercraft 'You!', pink paper from Echo Park 'Everyday Eclectic' and enamel dots from Papervine.

Stunning sunny day here today. Have one more card to post, then off to walk the dogs in the sun. Also need to desperately clean my car today but will leave that till AFTER the walk....you can imagine the mess that 2 large, wet Golden Retrievers can make!!!

Take care
Shona
