Hubby's birthday card

Hello all - just thought I'd share this card I've just made for my DH's birthday on Saturday.

I've used my Stampin Up Wetlands set which is NBUS (never before used schtuff!!!) that I bought at our SU Extravaganza a couple of weeks ago.  I've stamped the main image on some white card and then masked the bird whilst I sponged on the sky, water and ground.  I've added some reeds and used one of the smaller stamps of birds wading.  I die cut the image using my Spellbinders Majestic Elements dies, then die cut the same out of contrasting card which was then put through my eBosser with a wicker e/f.  I matted this onto the blue card and then added the main image (popped up for dimension) so you can see the blue through the swirly edges of the image.  The greeting is from the same set stamped onto die cuts from the Majestic Elements set.  I've added a ribbon and some Liquid Pearls to complete the card.

Thanks for dropping by.  It's a very dismal day here but very mild...........in fact we had the last of the runner beans out of our garden last night - how mad is that for November!!! lol
