Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I don't think it's a surprise the I like birds!
Whether they are outside or in the studio, they are among my favorite blessings.
I had this embossed background laying on my table since the 3D Embossing Folder
arrived. I wasn't sure what I'd do with it. I think it would be beautiful colored.
But I decided to keep it plain and color some NBUS Spellbinder die cuts to go with it.
The bird was colored with Distress Markers and spread with a waterbrush.
The leaves were colored with a blending brush and ink.
I trimmed it down and used the same colors to brush ink on a leftover strip of
watercolor paper to add a bit of contrast to the background.
I am loving these Scripted Die cuts and need to do some more.
It's very handy to have some cut and ready to go!

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Loving birds? You and me both, Bonnie. This one is so cute perching on your wonderful leafy branches. I do love the strip of green and that gold scripty sentiment is marvelous.
ReplyDeleteYour coloring on this card is beautiful, Bonnie. The bird looks so real I can hear him chirping. That is a gorgeous embossing folder.
ReplyDeleteYour background looks amazing with that sweet little chickadee perched on the branch and leaves, and I'm loving the gold scripted die cut too! Beautiful card Bonnie!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your card and your coloring is so perfect with that cute birdie perched among the leaves. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen some wren-like colors for your sweet little Chicka-dee-dee-dee today, Bonnie! He looks right at home on this pretty leafy branch - seems to be checking out and loving your embossed surroundings - me too!
ReplyDeleteThis little bird could be so many different breeds and is an extra great die because of that! Maybe a little butterbutt next time? They are stopping by us already - yikes I hope that isn't a bad sign for an early winter!
