My card was completed with our daughter in mind as she just left her first "real" job after college for a big company. And little did she know that her close coworker got an offer the same day at the same company! Birds of a feather!!!!!!

Products I used:

Sizzix: Robins in Hats die set

My Favorite Things: Cloud stencil, baby clothesline die

Stampin' Up!: A Little Birdie Told Me stamp set

Waffle Flower: Nesting Rectangle Frames die

Distress inks

Versafine: Onyx black ink

Holographic silver cardstock

It was really fun making the little matching birds. Aren't the skinny stick legs funny coming out of the boots?!! I  assembled them and they sat on my desk for a few weeks while I thought about how to put them on a card. I ran across the clothesline dies and thought they would look better than me drawing a line for them to stand on...and that set the card in motion. I stenciled a panel of white cardstock with clouds, then arranged the birds. I added the rectangle frame and stamped the sentiment. Inside, I stenciled clouds again to carry the theme over and make a place for the end of the sentiment. Looking back at it now, this card could be a baby card for someone who just found out that they are expecting.

We hope you will join our fun collab this round with Time Out Challenges!
