Joyful birds

 In my stamp group our challenge for last month that I never got to doing was birds.  These birds took a lot more time than the ornaments, and I see that I missed some spots coloring now that I see it on my computer screen, eyes just aren't what they use to be. There are three different birds in this die set and branches, hats and garlands, a few things to play with. I colored the little berries from the branch die and added to this playful scene. This first card was colored using inks with blending brushes and foam.

• Sizzix - Robins in Hats die, colored with inks with blending brushes
• Honey Bee - Holiday cheer paper
• Poppystamps - Eyelet stitches die
• Die-Versions - Joyeux Noel die

The second card I colored using markers. I added the long die cut branch to go with the smaller ones in the set to make it bigger for the bird to perch on, they worked ok together.

• Sizzix - Robins in hats dies, colored w/markers
• Memory Box - Woodland Branch die
• Poppystamps - Stitched Landscape die
• Honey bee - Holiday cheer paper

I am adding this to the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge 

That's it I have my cards finished for July, hopefully I will get to August before the month is over :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
