Dad has recently moved into a nursing home after being diagnosed with Dementia and has settled in remarkably well. Just below his bedroom window there is a small aviary with several budgies in it and he has taken rather a liking to them so I thought this image from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew CD would be perfect.
The decoupage image and leaf papers are both from the CD and the yellow lattice ones are from Pink Petticoat, I computer generated the sentiment. I have layered everything onto black card stock and punched a scalloped border with a Fiskars edge punch.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Joanna Sheen Challenge - Boys will be boys!
Kaboodle Doodles Challenge 183 - Anything with Scallops
Paper Playtime Challenge 16 - Lots of Yellow
Oldie but a goodie Challenge - Boys/male cards (CD and card stock over 6 months old)
613 Avenue Create Challenge 31 - Anything Goes/Optional twist: Use a Sentiment
Word Play Saturday July Challenge - Birthdays
Just Us Girls Challenge 200 - Sketch
Thank you so much for visiting me, please leave a comment and I will try to pop over and visit you.

This card is lovely Pauline. It appeals to me because I used to breed budgies - along with several other types. I'm sure your dad will love it too.

I think this card with budgies will be appreciated by your father. That's what I love about making my own cards, it's so much easier to give a personalized themed card for the ones you love. I don't think you easily would find a card with budgies in any store...
what a fab card Pauline and it sounds like the perfect choice for your dad ,I'm sure your dad will love it ,wishing him many happy returns and a great day hugs
