Good Morning Sunshine!

We're almost at the end of winter here in Canberra but the weather doesn't seem to be getting much warmer.  Today it's a cold wind and rain, here and there.  Quite deceptive really when the sky is blue and full of fluffy white cards.  Oh well, I'll keep wishing for warmer weather but not until Sunday as my WH and my eldest are off to the snow on Saturday.

Anyways, I'm going somewhere with this .... I pulled out my 'Good Morning Sunshine' papers and had a play with the card and a 2010 Sale-a-Bration stamp set that unbelievably hadn't yet used.  Shame, shame! 

Hmmm, this card is a little bit plain but so easy to jazz up just a tad.  Add a bit of cream coloured organza ribbon to the Chocolate Chip grosgrain and then .....

Add some glitter to the bird in the bird cage and some pearls.  I think I like the pearls going up the side best.   It's just one way you can use up scraps of papers that are retiring VERY SOON and stamp sets that you've never used :o).

Here's what I used:

Stamps: Happy Moments (SAB retired set)
Inks: Chocolate Chip
Papers: Apricot Appeal, Whisper White & Chocolate Chip CS, Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Other: Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Border Punch, Organza Ribbon, glitter & pearls

And this was also Case'd from another brilliant card maker, but I can't remember whom to give credit to.  Let me know if you know!!
