A Twist of Bird

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've taken advantage of a challenge to make a card for my 

dear sister-in-law's birthday.  She loves cardinals.

It's actually a CASE of this card by Debbie Hughes at Lime Doodle Design.

I've used a 3D embossing folder and wiped the inside with a baby wipe

before running through my Big Shot with Bristol paper to get a deep impression.  

When it was totally dry, I added a bit of color to the background and set it aside.

I stamped and die cut the cardinal, branch and birdhouse from 

watercolor paper and colored with Distress inks and markers.

Lots of dimensionals were used to put this together so it has

lots of dimension.

Challenges:

Can You Handle the Pressure - ATG with embossing folder/option of bird

Simon Says - Add a sentiment
