Since I took a play break this afternoon to make my spring tag, I decided to do the challenge over on SimonSaysStampandShow, Show Us A Word, and make it into a birthday card for my dear father-in-law's birthday tomorrow. He is turning 81. He is so young for his age and in such good shape. Anyway, I hope he likes it. My word is Celebrate and I used a sizzix die I bought quite a while ago and hadn't used yet. I really like it and iut actually has two birds on it. I used an old flourish and flowers die I have had forever and cut it apart to make it fit behind the bird which I pop-dotted over it after piecing together the parts I opted to use. I swiped the breast and wings lightly with terra cotta paint dabber and firmly on the beak. The eye is black enamel accents. I ran out of room for any other embellishments and men don't really go for bling so I guess it's done.
