Well, after 2 days of not posting (and not doing much creating, either, due to continuing respiratory problems), I finally finished another card for the 30 Days of Holidays challenges at Beccy's Place. This time, it's for the letter "R" and I have these on my list: Rocker card, Red, Ribbon, Robin, and Ruby.
My rocker card isn't typical but I tried something I thought would work the same way but be easier to create. I folded an A2 tent card (fold at top), then used a scalloped die from Little B Dies to cut the bottom of both the front and back of the card. The scallops allow the card to 'rock' but not to fall over.
The image and the sentiment are from Beccy's and I added highlights with gel pens. I cut the image using another of the scalloped dies from the Little B set, but I made it slightly oval by cutting the left side, then moving the die and cutting the right side. I inked the edges using a ProMarker. The stripes across the top of the card are made using ribbon scraps from my stash.

Love your sweet little birdie here NC and what a fun idea to add the rows of ribbons too! I think I could make several backgrounds with all of the ribbons that I hoard! LOL! I must say that once again you're really rockin' the challenges this year!! Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
Excellent idea NanaConnie! The scallops look fantastic and keep the card standing upright... I love it! The ribbon background is another awesome idea. I have so many different ribbons that would be perfect for this. Fabulous!
Cheers,
Beccy
