Shaped card

It's week 69 over at 'Less is More' & this time it's a recipe which is.......

We have a very simple recipe this week and that is

 simply to make a card which is

NOT A SQUARE

nor a rectangle for that matter.

What we're really trying to say is that we want a shaped card.

 Hmm they always manage to keep our grey matter going

 Chrissie and Mandi & this week is no exception !

I decided to use my  trusty nesties, ( labels 18).

I made a card using the largest shape from the set,

then I used a smaller die ( same set again ) to cut

another layer.I used a smaller die to cut the shape at the very

 bottom to add more interest. I then used chalks to make

 a little scene.I used my 'Create a scene' stamps for

 the large tree & various 'Hobby Art Ltd'. stamps for

 the grass and  hills etc. I used a mask for the sun &

 added a few birds  & nests to the tree ( peer closely).
I hope you can see birds nesting in that tree :)

 A few touches with various pencil crayons &

 Promarkers completes the card. I popped the matt 

on 3d pads for a bit of height  too.Hope there is enough

 white space now ??

ps. I managed to drop my chalks making this card & they 

have mostly smashed to pieces.....many pieces!!! grrrrrr!!!

We had a nice day yesterday babysitting our grandson Alex,

 he was a very good baby too.I hope you are all enjoying

 the lovely sun today. I have managed to plant all my

 bedding plants out at last &  make a card too.

 So off for another quick sunbathe now :)

 Have a lovely weekened everyone whatever you are doing.
