STB - #301 Anything that Flies


Linda is our host for this next challenge at Seize the Birthday. As you can see, she has challenged us to make a project with anything that flies. I thought of these sweet songbirds and did my card with that in mind. 




Just make it a birthday theme if you are not into toppings. 




For this card, I used these stamps and dies
My Favorite Things Winter Song Birds, Stamp, die and sentiment
Postage stamp collage die from Waffle Flower
Gina K embellishments. 

Leslie Miller is our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.
 Leslie has been on other teams with me and I can guarantee that you will 
love her creative cards and blog. 

I hope to see you in the gallery at Seize the Birthday Challenge.

Double D Challenge - Going Green (anything green)



Hello my crafty friends! Here at Double D Challenge, we have some incentive for you in the way os this inspiration board that Diane has created.  She has called it Going Green and you can do anything Green.   



This is the prize for a random winner. You need to enter to have that chance, so got going on this one. 

My card

I have decided that this year, I will try to use what I have in my stash. Therefore, I looked at the stencil from Pink Fresh and started there. It has a die to match, and I used that too for my background. Of course it is green. Next I used the wonderful butterfly stamp and stencil from Gina K Designs. Stencils make it easy to color up an image and soon I have three butterflies done for my card. 
I think you can see where I got my inspiration. 



For this card, I used Gina K designs Fluttering Fall Stamp and stencil set
The inks are Grass Green, Fresh Asparagus, Warm Cocoa
Pink Fresh Overlapping geo leaf stencil and die
Champagne gems Pink Fresh

Looking forward to seeing your entry in this challenge. Check out the blog here. 

I am also entering my card in the Cut Above Challenge for March 

Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!
