Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We love to watch the birds and we have a lot of them that come to visit.
One of my favorites it the Carolina Wren with his perky tail.
They are very vocal little guys that chatter, sing and scold.
We always know when they're around.
The wrens are such a pretty rust color that I knew immediately what I was going to do
for the Color Hues challenge. I was delighted to see that he fits perfectly in this frame.
The frame came with a stencil that was a big help in keeping the frame white
when ink blending the leaves. The bird was ink blended too.
Challenges:
Color Hues #94 - Rust & Green
Memory Box #111 - Foliage-Trees/Leaves
Four Seasons - Fall (this is how our leaves are looking these days.)

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Birds always bring me joy and this wonderful wren did the job for today. Thanks, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteWe see a wren every so often, singing his heart out usually. A beautiful card. x
ReplyDeleteI was so hoping to catch a glimpse of one while there, Bonnie! They are SO adorable - and so is your darling card!

Your Carolina Wren is so cute and I love the rust color. The leaf frame is perfect with him.
ReplyDeleteOh, I always love seeing those little wrens too! They make a BIG noise for such little birds! Your wren is just fabulous! Gonna check out that stencil for sure! Lovely card all round!
ReplyDeleteOops, I see that bird is a DIE, not a stencil! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love watching birds too - always have several little birds at the feeders outside of my craft room windows. But they seldom tweet. Sure wish some Carolina Wrens would come and visit me. Your coloring/painting is wonderful and I think this sweet wren showcases your talent.

ReplyDeleteWe're bird watchers as well, but aren't lucky enough to have wrens visit us. You card is just wonderful! Your coloring of the wren and the beautiful leaves is fabulous--as always! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
We're bird watchers too Bonnie, although I don't think I've ever seen a Carolina Wren before. Yours is so pretty with the rusty ink blending and surrounded by the beautiful frame and leaves...you have definitely made our challenge colors SHINE my friend! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at Color Hues...we always love seeing your creations in our gallery!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love how you turned the frame for the bird, and your ink blending is beautiful! You can always tell a wren by its perky turned up tail flicking almost quicker than the eye can see. So pretty, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the Color Hues colors, Bonnie - just love your sweet birdie with the leafy border!!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! Your cards are always so "klassy" and elegant. This one turned out lovely with everything staged so beautifully. Thanks for playing along with us again at The Four Seasons. We appreciate you so much.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the way you paint your die cuts, something I never succeeded with. This card is adorable. Love that wren too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully coloured wren Bonnie, and love the border of pretty leaves, and the ornate mate and inset stitched panel really shows it off. They do have a very loud song for a bird so small. x
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this, its lets that sweet little bird shine!
ReplyDeleteAdorable wren! They are such lovely birds. Great stencilling for the frame around him.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Bonnie! Love the wren and that gorgeous frame is pretty amazing too
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Bonnie - love that stenciled background!! it frames the bird beautifully

A wonderful CAS design, so perfect for fall. Thanks so much for sharing at the Four Seasons challenge!
ReplyDeleteI know I have called you the queen of florals but I think I might have to add birds to that title too. Gorgeous wren and card! Love how you got both colors on the leaves as well. Awesome card my friend and thanks for playing at Color Hues.
