It's Thursday! I hope you're excited about the new inspiration from the gang at the Inspired By Challenge.
The theme of Tweet Messages was my cue to pull out the Robin & Wren Set from The Greetery which I love to use because it reminds me of the cheery bluebirds that come to our bird feeder year round.
The Wood Slices Dies and some florals stamped and die cut from the Merry Sprigs set rounded out the scene.
I have begun preparing stamped or colored and die cut images whenever I get a new set, and storing them with the set until I need them. This worked out really well, as all the items for this card were ready for me to place on the panel. Each image was stamped in layers with Distress Oxide Inks which I added with a sponge dauber.
I rounded the edges and placed it on the card front. The die cut Hello and sentiment are from WPlus9. To tie in the black sentiment, I added Nuvo Drops in black.
That's it for me today. Thanks so much for taking time to visit!

ReplyDeleteWow....those wood slices look so real and are a perfect background for your cute little birds! I love birds, but especially bluebirds!
ReplyDeleteI'm so amazed we all happened to have a little bird to share! Your bluebird is adorable, but I do have a soft spot for those sweet Carolina Wrens with their upturned tails!

ReplyDeleteYou have such an eye for design! I love the little sprigs peeking out from the wood slices. Actually, I love everything about this beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with this card! First of all, those are the most realistic looking wood slices, partly due to the awesome dies, but also because of your color touches. And then the sweet and precious little birds, sigh... I adore bird stamps. This is the most lovely card, Cindy!
