Life's little ups and downs card
It's week 77 over at 'Less is More' & this time it's a theme and ..............SewingHmmm I wasn't looking forward to this as like Diva Mandi ...I don't sew on my cards. However as usualthey are keeping our grey matter on overdrive sowho are we to complain ! Anyway I found this cute little digi bird set I had and a sentiment I thought went with it and a plan was hatched ( excuse terrible pun there...birds ...hatch).I turned one of the birds upside down, which I thought went with the sentiment. I punched a few holes, did a bit of silver stitching ( gulp) & decoupaged one of the birds ( sooooo fiddly). I added a bit of glamour dust to the top bird too, ...I did try to resist using that....but wasn't easy lol. A bit of soft chalking around image, 3d'd it & job done............and relax.ps. Quite pleased with the stitching.......I may even do more !
