Mornin' y'all! Hope your Monday is off to a good start. It's a gorgeous day out side so as soon as I finish this blog post, I'll be taking Miss Daphne for her daily walk. It's lovely to be out in the sunshine for 30 minutes every day.
But let's start with a card, shall we? Once again I have pulled a couple of stamp sets out of retirement, here's my creation for today:
I could not resist making a card with Bird's Eye View after seeing this Inspired By... Challenge:
I did use Pumpkin Pie for my bluebird's belly, but I used the lighter Blend so it's not reading as orange as the inspo pic. Still I think you can tell where I started. Next up is last week's Freshly Made Sketch:
And I will admit, you kinda have to squint your eyes and tilt your head to one side to see the sketch, but it IS where I started. The bluebird is the circle element and the tree branch is the long strip, which would have been closer to the sketch if I hadn't stamped the leaves on the branch but I just had to. I added some clear gems for the foliage behind the circle element and added my greeting underneath. So it's not as strict of a sketch interpretation as I usually do, but I promise that's where it started and I do really love how this simple little card turned out. I loved playing with Bird's Eye View again. I need to remember to ink up my Azure Afternoon ink pad though.
The great outdoors is calling, so Daph and I must go. Cheers!
