Shawshank Jailbreak!

For my card today I used this fun stamp which I think might be from Michaels' Recollections collection.  I have already put the stamp away in my stash.  This bird is clearly dressed up for some shenanigans and quite rightly lives in my Halloween section which has subsequently been blocked in by multiple boxes I am trying to store from my Study while it is undergoing refurbishment.  My house is in a terrible state at the moment with boxes absolutely everywhere!   I have used a distressed stripy background stamp to match the bird's disguise.

We have a new theme for "funny photo or stamp" at Everybody Art Challenge and we would love to see your creations. Do check out the wonderful inspiration of my teamies and share some love with the Design Team by leaving comments on their blogs.  I love this little jail break bird which I have teamed with a die cut "In a Gilded Cage" from Crafty Individuals which comes with the floral branch.  I decorated the cage with some shimmery gilding wax and a fun sentiment from Tim Holtz snarky Ideology.   We in England spell "Defence" correctly of course but I can forgive this spelling because Tim is a legend and these sentiment strips are so funny!

By the way, if you would prefer to see my cards on Facebook, please look for Lesley Kollinsky Grenouille Greetings HERE
