Hi Everyone, my DT make today is for -
Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale,
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
I had already stamped and coloured a bird, the tree branches and the bird house, a few months ago, but didn't know what to do with them. Then in a panic to get this post done, I decided to use them, but to add another bird, it was pot luck on colouring it to match the first one, but it was OK in the end, I think?
I embossed a leaf background from a leaf die, but decided to only colour the flowers in it. I die cut it, as per the sketch I had to use for inspiration. Next I added the tree house and branches and the birds, I didn't have what I wanted in a sentiment stamp, so printed one out and die cut it.
I wanted to add paper, as per the sketch, and found this bird paper in my files a freebie from my subscription magazine, and it even had blue tits on it. I printed it, cut it to size and pasted it onto the base card. Then added the circle design.
The sentiment was added with 3D pads. Thank goodness for sketch inspiration sometimes.
This is the sketch I used -
birds and birdhouse - SCP #187 RSBP Magazine Freebie Garden Birds
inks - Distress Inks
embossed die - Tattered Lace (old)
sentiment - computer generated
sentiment die - Card Making Magic, Rectangular Nested Set
paper - SCP #226 Magazine Freebie
What Critter will you use for the Challenge?
It's a lovely card Faith and to be honest I wouldn't know which bird you coloured months ago. WakeyL

Absolutely lovely take on the sketch, Faith! The coloring of the birdhouse and birds is amazing. Beautiful card.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card Faith - well done on using what you had on hand - one would hardly think it was done in a rush at the last minute, it's exquisite

I have been really enjoying watching the birds in our garden enjoy the bird bath over recent days. I think this card is a delight and really like how you have used the embossing xx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a beautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous card Faith, the focal panel is beautifully done, perfect choice of DP to match. I'm missing the blue tits I this year, usually we have at least two families of them nesting in our garden but they've been scared away by the magpies which have invaded our area recently. I'm hoping they'll move on and the little birds return next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment.
