Congratulations (Graduation) Card Using Floral Birdcages

Hello Friends!   How are you?  It is getting hotter in Southern CA.  I did manage to take a very short walk this morning.  It is good to get outside and see the neighborhood with all the gorgeous plants and flowers.  Lol!   

I created this graduation card for my granddaughter who just graduated from high school.  I wanted something different, not your usual graduation card.  I thought this little bird was so cute and surrounded in flowers. If you get a chance, take a look at the reel with music over at my Instagram account.  I thought it was perfect for a graduation song; so don't forget to turn on the sound.  Lol!  

I used clipart from Etsy.  It is digital art, already colored and ready to print and size to whatever size you need.  It is gorgeous in person and so much fun to create.  Clipart has expanded my inventory of digital stamps and is just another way to use my creativity. See link above the photo.

Thank you visiting my blog.  I hope you enjoy my creations.  I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog.  I enjoy creating cards.  It is as necessary to me as breathing. Be sure to check out my tabs at the top of the page for my videos, tutorials and my previous card creations.  

Click here for my YouTube Videos. I have been creating mostly reels lately; which you can find on my Instagram account.  These are more current than my YouTube videos.

CTMH is out of business now; so my part as a CTMH consultant ended April 30, 2024.  I will continue using their products for as long as I have supplies.  They are still my favorite products and I will always have a place for them in my crafting and in my heart. 

Remember - Keep On Creating!!
It's Good For Your Health!!
