My stash of birthday cards was gone. So, it was time to play along in a challenge or two.
This card is going into The Paper Players Challenge #62 - Birthdays
And - The Lawnscaping Challenge #17 - Embossing Extravaganza
This is my first time playing along with them!
And, my card ~
The larger bird was colored with markers and popped up on dimensional adhesive. I also stamped and cut out a few extra tail feathers for him, and layered them underneath.
I think I still some practice with this style of card. But, that just gives me more excuses to stamp...doesn't it?
Thanks for popping in to take a look!
Supplies:
Ink: basic black, close to cocoa, basic gray, summer sun, marina mist, certainly celery, bashful blue (SU)
Card stock: garden green, close to cocoa, whisper white
Stamps: hang ups, sentiment sampler (Paper Smooches)
Other: woodgrain embossing folder (Tim Holtz by Sizzix), blue gem (the Paper Studio), glossy accents (Ranger), scor-tape, white signo gel pen
Oh, we are so glad you played along with us this week. I love the "cute" scene you have created here and the woodgrain embossed hills are fabulous! Thanks for playing along with us at Lawnscaping this week!!!
ReplyDeleteSusie, this is gorgeous. It doesn't look like you were stretched outside your comfort zone; it has come together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAdorable card Susie--it looks completely effortless! Love the woodgrain embossed hills and those sweet birdies! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so cute! The birds are so cheerful, and your rolling hills are great! Thanks for having fun with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteI think both of your challenge cards are great--totally different cards, different feelings, but it is fun to try something out of our usual style! Thanks for playing with the Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is a great idea. It may be out of your comfort zone but sure turned out adorably
ReplyDeleteSusie, this card is just plain old cute! I love those little birdies on the wire and the embossed rolling hills. You need to step out of your comfort zone more often. Thanks for playing along with us girls at the Paper Players ;)
ReplyDeleteThis card is so "tweet". I love how you used wood grain for texture of the grass -such a great touch. It caught my eye right away. You did "cute" perfectly. Thank you for playing along with The Paper Players birthday challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Susie! This is really cute, love how you used the embossing. So happy you play with us at the Paper Players.
