Double D - Birds

It is time for another fabulous challenge at Double D and Darlene is out host. She has picked out a few birds for your inspiration on this mood board. 

The Prize

For a random winner. 

This bird I have colored many times. It is a Power Poppy digital image that was printed out four times. I will have more cards to make after I complete the coloring on each. It is called Chickadee In Bayberry and is available. I colored it while on Christmas vacation and added some new product called   

Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff.  Look closely at the snow on the bayberry branch. 

I finished by sponging some distressed ink around the background of this card. Then did Splatters.

Double D Challenge - Lighthouse

Hello Crafters, Diane is our hostess for this two week challenge and she has given us a wonderful inspiration board to follow. Of course, any idea that you have with a lighthouse is just fine. 

For my card, I actually when to a very old stamp that I have had for years. I don't believe that I have ever used it. I applied a new technique for the background and got this card. 

                                                  

Gina K showed us how to do this background and you can see it here. It is called the torn stencil technique. I used the old rubber stamp called, You Light up my Life. A stencil, water droplets, and a sentiment from Never Loose Hope. ( an incentive set) Turquoise Sea ink, and a sponge brush. Master layouts 2 die. Just when I thought that I would clean out some of my old stamps, I was able to make this card and I quite like it.  Guess I will keep it for a while.  

Here is a look at the inside. My BFF Donna finishes her cards and she has motivated me to do the same. 

The prize for a random winner of the challenge.

I am also entering this card in the Colorful Options Challenge .
