the January theme chosen by Fliss is
NATURE
and to start us off Fliss would like us to use
BIRDS
Here's mine
This is an 8x8 card... my first attempt at this size. I've seen lots of inspirational art work using this size so thought I'd try it. Hope you like it.
The main image is a freebie download from
Cemerony Share There are some gorgeous images on this Blog. Julia also sells art work on Etsy.

I like the way this bird from Crafty Individuals CI-256 is taking flight off the card.
The Air mail is from one of CI's freebie packs which I received recently with an order... thank you CI
The other little bird and the words are from a lovely set of Inches...
can't remember who makes them :o(

The round image is from the download.
The bird on a branch is from Stampers Anonymous.
The feather stamp is from Impressive Images Essential Elements coloured with DI's. You can just see some script which also came from this set.
I cut out the birdcages on the smaller images .. They were re sized before printing.
The birds in the grass image and the sentiment are from PaperArtsy.
I used several DI's to make the background and to colour the stamped images.

The little collection of post cards is also from Impressive Images.

Blogger has been playing up during this post... it's made this post a bit of a pain to complete... but alls well... nearly.
Take care and very best wishes for 2012.

Maybe Mr Blogger has been over-indulging LOL!!
This is a brilliant card and I love the theme this time so will be clearing myself a space to get started. Not tried this size of card myself but might have a go. You've certainly used a wide selection of stamps.
Fab-u -lous!!Suzi I absolutely love your collage card. I can't wait to have a play with ideas for this challenge.
Happy new year

A gloriously detailed card Suzi - Jacqueline xx
This really is lovely Sue. The vintage style is just gorgeous and all the elements work so well together. I find 8x8 really useful sometimes Especially when it's a struggle to get everything on the card!
Wishing you a Happy New Year and a great 2012.
Hugs, Fliss xx
