With Appologies To Abba....

OK they probably don't check my blog, but if they did....
This is my entry for this weeks dare u2 digistamp challenge which is 'things with wings.
The fab birds digi is from Charmed Cards and Crafts again, and the backing paper is from My Grafico which has load of yummy stuff.
For some reason these birds just remind me of the Mamma Mia film, so I just went with that.
Now on a more serious note, no-one warned me that digi stamps were addictive, surely there should be some sort of health/credit card warning???
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend xx

Ooh A Leggy Bird With Big ....

EYES! Well what do you think I meant....
This is my card for the Dare u 2 Digistamp challenge. This week it's pink and green, so I immediately though of my new digi download from Charmed Cards & Crafts. I thought this would be a great saying for a mans card, but pink and green?? Mmmmm
The ostrich has been coloured with Prisma's and UTE'd. I've printed the tiny birds on printable acetate, 'cos the background looked a little bare, and I have a fear of open spaces when it comes to cardmaking!
The backing papers are Basic Grey - good strong 'mens' papers lol.
I've found it best to heat emboss the downloads, as even though they appear dry, the ink still smudged a little when I tried to colour in.
I really think these downloads are the way to go when making guy cards, if only I could remember how to resize them for printing without asking my son every time I would be well away.
Back to work tomorrow, so I have to iron now :o( - sorry for the bad language.
Thanks for looking xx
