Hey Sweetie

 Sharing some more goodies I bought for myself for Christmas.  I have been eyeing these bird dies for awhile and wondered did I need more bird dies but I finally said yep I want them for Christmas :)

I used a bit of patterned paper with my brown cardstock to give him a touch of blue.  My background is one I did with my stamp group awhile ago but can't remember what technique we used with the stencil.  I decided to keep the blue theme by making my leaves blue too.  When I showed hubby he said, "Blue Leaves"  I said yep putting a bit of artistic feel to it and going off the usual, since he is an artist himself he said well done :)


  • Stenciled background from my stash
  • Tim Holtz - Feathered Friends and Crochet dies
  • Memory Box - Botanical stem die
  • Fiskars - Essential Sayings sentiment


I  just really love the details in this set, there is another bird I will have to use soon :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Connie

I love the blue leaves, and the bird looks wonderful! The layered parts of the bird look fairly easy to deal with and that's important. This is beautiful, Connie!

I spy several of my favorite things on this beautiful card....birds, lace, and stenciled backgrounds! Those bird dies are so sweet, and I love how you used patterned paper to create yours. I need to get mine out again!

Super card and the blue leaves look really good to me. I’m also liking the crochet die which is perfect for your little bird to perch on!
