Fly away, sweet bird of prey, fly, fly away...

YAY! I got the sketch done!! I am sooo sorry I flaked on yall today, but I'm back in the swing of things, I promise. I better be, cause I have a super busy week coming!

So, when I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use this image from Birds Galore. It's an Inkadinado clear set that Amy went on a mission for since I couldn't find it. Thanks, girl!!!

I had this image stamped and already colored, so this card didn't take me any time to make. I wanted the bird and flowers to take center stage, so the rest of the card is VERY simple. I hope it's not too boring for ya...but I like it!

Ok, it's super late so my post is going to be short tonight, but I will be back tomorrow with something else fun!

I also want to mention something to you that Julee shared with us...ALL Verve stamp sets are 15% off this month!!! Yes, you heard right!! AND...........Julee has decided to offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $40. WAHOO!! Yall know how I hate paying shipping, so I am thrilled that she's done this!! Anywho, just wanted to enable! Oops, I mean SHARE. *wink*
