Friends of ours have a kiwifruit orchard. Unfortunately they also have magpies who attack them when they are out doing their work, so Graeme gets up early to shoot them. Recently he was in his undies and dressing gown out there trying to catch these magpies, when he slipped on their steepish driveway and faceplanted. The serious part is he required 7 stitches in his chin, skinned his nose, badly damaged fingers on both hands, hurt his foot and his dignity. The funny part is he was more embarrassed about being caught out in his undies than the bodily damage!
I just had to make this card for him to cheer him up.
It's a one-layer card, coloured with Copics and Distress Inks.
Bird stamp is Tim Holtz
Boots stamp: Deep Red
Word letter stamps: Hero Arts
Number stamps: unbranded

Perfect!
What a fabulous card and an even more fabulous story, aww poor man, hope he soon recovers, I bet those magpies will get it when he's better, haha..xx
We can sympathize. There's nothing so irritating as having something eating your crop. Poor man, send him our sympathies and wishes to go get em again. With a few more articles of clothing though. [Bunny]``

The magpies are vicious Carol, they are different to the English ones, more like crows in The Birds!
