Birthday

Good Morning. Welcome to 2 new followers, Sue of Planet Susie  and Asha of Sunny Summer Crafts.  Thanks so much for taking the time to become followers. Please take a few moments and visit these 2 fun blogs, see some wonderful inspiration!

Here's a card that went together fast once I decided what I wanted to do with the die cut. And got it colored ..which really didn't take long.

 

 

- Cottage Cutz Bella Springtime Bird was cut from white paper. Decided to color the bird in tones of a pheasant picture I had seen on the internet (well, my very loose interpretation of the colors). Of course I used copics, and the bird was diecut from Xpress paper (a snippet of paper, BTW!). When I cut paper, I trim an 8.5 x 11 sheet in half, and then into further quarters, depending on what size I may need. So this piece was a left over, and the die just did fit on the paper, when I placed it just so.

 

the hardest part of this card was deciding what paper & color to back the die with. I finally settled on this dark blue glitter paper, which is very sparkly IRL.

 

- sentiment is also a snippet, which had been left in the storage bag where I keep the metal die. Love finding pieces I can use and get the card done!

 

I think I've got all the important family birthdays covered for the moment. I know who is getting this card. Now if I just remember to mail it in time!

 

Thanks for joining me today, and hope you have a Blessed Day. Hugs
