Your New Roost

So this must be the week for sketches cos I've got another one for you!

This week at Phindy's Place we're challenging you to use the following sketch:

At first I was thinking it rather difficult but that's cos my eyes kinda crossed when I was looking at it and I envisioned another stripe in there. lol Hey ,hang on just a cotton pickin minute.... maybe there is another stripe in there! Good grief I think I did it wrong. Oh ! No I didn't. *phew*. I'm using my punched borders as the top and bottom stripe. Sometimes its like looking at one of those Escher pictures that can be two pictures in one, you know the type? Is it a vase or two silhouettes....if you cross your eyes just right you can see both , just don't let the east wind catch you!

OK, so onto the card!

I made this for one of our friends who lost their home in last month's tornado. Their house remains have now been bulldozed and they'll be rebuilding in the next few months, so I thought this was perfect. Lets hope they do!
