Take Flight

I thought I would enter another quick card for The Play Date Cafe colour challenge, I enjoyed working with the colours so much I decided to have another go.  My dad is in hospital so I needed something to take my mind off things.
This is another set of stamps that I have not pulled out of the packet LOL so I thought it was about time I pulled them out of their plastic.
A simple card to create but I am quite pleased with the results.
A reminder of the colour palette for this weeks challenge.  Thanks for stopping by, until the next time, take care.  Tracy x x

    I hope you got everything sorted out in the garden. It's been too wet here unfortunately to venture out.
    Both your cards are beautiful but this one is my favourite, just!!! Love the peacock feather background.
    I'm so sorry to hear your Dad is poorly. I hope he is soon on the mend.

    That bird is such a stunning image with this color - I'm not sure how all of that stitching is considered simple! ;) Thanks for playing again at the PDCC.
