edited: 9 Dec 7pm - thanks to everyone who has left comments so far.To answer a couple of questions
1) The bird stamp I have used on the cards is one from a clear stamp set from Inkadinkado called "birds galore."
2) I did the background by using a torn piece of paper as a mask and applied different colours of dye inkpads using a sponge.
I had so much fun making these cards yesterday, especially the backgrounds - I decided I would have a giveaway on my blog. Anyone who leaves a comment until the 15th December, will go into 2 draws to have one of the above cards mailed to them.
The New Year will be here before we realise .... and I already have some "resolutions" for my blog
1. to post more regularly
2. to upload more of what I make
3. to have more giveaways
I hope everyone is having a stressfree lead up to Christmas - remember the reason for the season - take care and remember to smile, laugh and enjoy every moment of every day

Your cards are beautiful, Wendy, but I am writing to say how much I loved the photos and story of you and your "Pink Angels" invading the town, including the cute Egyptian guy wearing the halo!
Best Wishes!

Beautiful artistic work Wendy. Love the quirky cards. You certainly can see the love you have for creating cards through the details and colour. Congratulations on the award.The music is also very soothing and easy to listen to as one gazes at your work.
Thanks for giving me this time to sit and relax away from the demands of farm work.
