Birthdays

This month's digi at From the Heart Inspiration is a cute birthday bird that looks a bit worried. It was a challenge for me. To color him required some dexterity with shading which I don't do well. I have no patience. So I paper piece. Everything is cut out and pieced together. The only coloring I did was with Stickles, the candle flame, candle wax on the side and the purple stripes.

 
 Inside
 As I look at my card, I feel that there should be something in that bare space on the left. I have thought of putting "Be Happy" or "a little bird told me its your birthday" But that doesn't really fit with the inside sentiment. Even as I write this, I'm still not sure my card is finished.
As you can see, I left room under the inside sentiment for a personal note.


This is my contribution to the From the Heart monthly digi challenge. Now its your turn, even tho there is only a day left.

In any case, go over and check out the wonderful entries.
Thanks for stopping by.  Take Care

Great job with the paper piecing - I have a hard time with white space too, but it really looks good :) Thanks for joining this month's SOTM challenge at From the Heart Stamps!

Another cute card-I like your paper piecing. I too struggle with white space, but I think it looks great just the way it is.
