A little birdie told me...

... it's time to make some cards for my friend's Dad, who's turning 65 this year. I made two cards for him (as she wished - one for my friend and one for somebody from her family, too), the second will be in my next post. My friend asked me to make the cards with birds, 'cos her Dad loves birds and has a little breeding.

I've made the card according to the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches:

 

So, there is a bird sitting on a twig and there are two more on the charm below!

 There is another one on the designer paper I used (and have no idea where this come from, I just bought a stake of 6x6 papers during latest arts & crafts workshop, so I guess it comes from those). I stamped the '65' anniversary nearby and the sentiment says 'happy B'day - this is your day'.

I also stamped the circled background  with a stamp called 'old print', but I liked it verticaly more than in the proper way.

A little birdie hid also inside the card:

The card is for the following challenges:
