Blue bird

Just a quick post to start the 2015 crafting season.
I've taken some time off during the holidays, partly because I went home where I don't have any crafting stuff, and partly because I started what I should be doing anyway - learning.
Well, I sorted my unterlagen and prepared (almost) everything I need to know for my exam. And with 6 weeks to go, I almost feel like time is running out!
What a wonderful students' life...

Anyway, as I'm not a morning person when it comes to learning (i.e. afternoon, evening & night is my most productive learning time), I managed to do this little blue bird somewhere between waking up and cooking lunch.
Mainly, I used the sketch from sweet sketch wednesday for the arrangement, and the colour combo from C.R.A.F.T. challenge.
I took some patterned paper for the background, and thought to use a white ribbon for the horizontal stripe. But, I glued the background paper to the card too soon, so I took a blue leftover paper instead. To make it sparkle, I used a silver sticker and two wooden snowflakes with glitter.
I can imagine the little bird is cold with the low temperatures outside, but at least I hope somebody wrapped some candy on the tree :) It's pretty funny to watch the birds swing on those apples, and a wonderful idea I saw in the city center lately.

    Super cute card!! love the little bird and your sketch is great. If I had a $1 for every time I glued before I put the ribbon on or the brads in I could go out and buy more "schtuff" Thanks for joining us at Clear it Out for the AG challenge.

    Zeelooo všeč mi je mali ptiček ;))) Imam to srečo, da živim v hiši, ki je blizu gozda. Seveda imamo tako pozimi kot poleti ptičje prijatelje. Pozimi se nam pridruži še detelj ;))
