Cockatoo...

 Hey there, crafty buddies! Today's make features the ever so sweet Cockatoo from Spellbinders Flying High set and the second yellow background from  my making session...

 I have been inspired by the lovely Denise from Crafty Den to try and use yellow more in my carfting, as it's a colour I always admire on other people's creations but just don't naturally reach for myself...and I don't know why, as I tend to love the results!...

I made up the pretty bird to look like a 'traditional' cockatoo and sat him on a postage stamp die inked with Broken China Distress Oxide. I decided to be bold and use a black card blank and then found some scrap paper in my stash to  use for the strips. I used the foliage from the bird die set, but changed it up with some flowers that I previously made and a sentiment stamp which came in a magazine set that was just perfect for the card...

I do love the way this card turned out, it's so bright and cheery and not a bit of pink in sight!
