Nordic Bird for Color Hues

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

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.


This month Nanc' picked our colors.  She chose....


I immediately thought of my Nordic Bird die paired with a new embossing folder.

I die cut the bird from teal cardstock adding a silver wing.  The branch he's sitting on
was die cut from Neenah Solar White and lightly brushed with light teal ink that was left
on a blending brush.  I added a bit of glitter to the branches too.  A little sparkle adds to the fun.

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our
fantastic Guest Designers Loll and Joanne have done to inspire you.


I hope you'll create a card using Teal and Silver and add it to the gallery at


Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on November 29th.

You really have put those colors to beautiful use, Bonnie! I love that I'm not the only one giving the bird this year - and that fantastic new embossing folder!

A new embossing folder! I never thought too much about embossing the background of my cards but after see all the embossing that you do I am ready to get into the swing of things. I see you have made a silvered wing Titmouse. Your pine leaves look so cold. Delightful card Bonnie.

You and Marcia were on the same wave length with these colors, Bonnie! Love your silver winged bird and the way the branches sparkle with a hint of teal too. Such a wonderful Christmas card. Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful card Bonnie. Your bird is so week done in teal and silver and I love the glittery branch he's sitting on. Love, Loll

Bonnie, I've always love that Nordic bird, and it's so striking sitting of the pine branch with it's lovely silver wing! I just ordered one of the embossing folders you featured here awhile ago, and this one is another winner!
