This month's challenge over at Crafty Individuals has been set by been set by the amazingly talented Helen Chilton . The words "Bright and Beautiful" always remind me of primary school. It was the hymn we sang nearly every week at assembly. So the inspiration for this piece came from the words "all creatures great and small".
Swallows are one of my favourite birds and I love the Crafty Individuals stamp with the silhouette of the swallows on the telegraph wire.
The foliage is all from a CI Elements set, and the words is an old Penny Black quote which I love.
At the hospital where I work we have swallows nesting just outside our back door in the loading bay. My colleague Pam and I are now watching them rear their second lot of chicks.
