It's been a wonderful Saturday being off work and feeling free of all those work-related stressors! Yup...it's been a trying week...very short-staffed and more emergencies and stress than normal in the clinic! So, today I'm working on laundry...grocery shopping...and now some stamping! You might think I've lost my marbles by posting a Christmas card, but this is for Stacy Morgan's DD (both current and alumni) Christmas Challenge for April where she's chosen the theme: A Partridge in a Pear Tree. We are to use a bird on our card, so I placed this one in a cage rather than a pear tree - lol! The cage is die cut from kraft CS and sponged with tea dye distress ink. I dug into my archives for some Mellow Moss CS for the leaves. I just thought that shade of green blended in better with the DP. Thanks for stopping by and hope you're having a great w/e!

Very well done, Wanda! Lovely touch with the staining on the bird. I NEED that poinsettia nestie - hoping a LSS will get it in shortly.
