Little Birdie Kisses

Wow today has been a crazy crazy day. It's currently 10pm on a Friday and I was really determined to get my Unity Friends with Flair post completed in time. So here we are. My dear sweet little Kiwi (our rescue dog we adopted a couple months ago) had a pretty violent seizure this evening. We're giving her endless love and hugs and waiting for some test results and more vet visits. It was a scary sight and we hope it was a one time incident. 

Our sweet Kiwi

Now my Unity card. I started this card around 10am, and right when I was finished coloring the stamp, this happened... that would be coffee spilled right on the image.


So it got colored again, didn't like it, and colored for a third time. Finally I just had to put an end to the card and threw it all together. I had big plans for this stamp, but they are just not gonna happen tonight.



The little birdie hats have Crystal Stickles on them, and the ornaments are coated in Glossy Accents. The image was colored with Copic markers and cut with Spellbinders "Labels 1' scalloped square die.


This card uses stamps from Unity Stamp Co "Birdies, Hugs, and Mistletoe" and the sentiment is Unity "Christmas Eve Chowder". I'm also entering this card into the color challenge this month at Unity.

    Your card is cute! Sometimes you just have to let something be enough, especially when real problems arise. :-) I hope that your dog will be ok.

    Oh no! I hope your little dog is doing better. That sounds really scary! She's such a cute little thing.

    The card looks beautiful! That sucks. I've also learned not to drink/eat around my projects :(

    Michelle, this card is wonderful. And if this is your idea of thrown together...well, I wish I was that talented. I like your use of soft colors for this stamp. And the bit of sparkle on the hat is just perfect!
