Bird on a Bike

As you've probably noticed, I'm not much of a Halloween crafter.  We don't celebrate it in Croatia and never did celebrate it growing up in the Philippines. I do love the colors associated with it and I notice so many of the craft challenge blogs I follow have very similar challenges the last few weeks. So, I decided to take their halloween inspirations and make a springy card with them. I also want to say that I'm not a big fan of purple so I used the closest hue: blue! Here is the result.

I made a fun & cute card with a country bird on a bike for my daughter who recently celebrated a birthday.The patterned papers, bike are by Fancy Pants. I die cut the chevron paper using PTI clouds. The bird is Penny Black's Perched die that has been watercolored with orange.

The sentiments are by SRM Stickers. Buttons, twine finish the card. The different elements were adhered using SAby3L Foam squares.

    Nina I am also not a fan of Halloween cards as we don't celebrate it here really and sure don't send cards! So your card is a breathe of fresh air and the little water colour bird is just fabulous. So pleased you joined us at TIME OUT x

    This is so sweet and love all the different layers and elements going on. I'm in New Zealand and we don't really celebrate Halloween here either. Love how you used the Halloween colours for something more cheerful! Very happy you joined us at TIME OUT and really hope you come back again soon!

    What a wonderful "spring" card - I can actually feel spring in this card.
