Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I hope you don't mind seeing some more of that Nordic Bird.
He keeps finding his way on my cards.
I was using up a package of patterned paper (I know, what a surprise that I've used it), and
thought it would do very well for this Nordic friend.
I cut the body from one side and the wing from the other. I do love having coordinating
sides on the patterned paper.
I wanted to play at Freshly Made Sketches #716 where my friend Michele
designed this sketch...
I CASEd Michele's card using a different bird and a die cut circle. The embossed
base was in my blue folder all ready to go. And I added a bit of gold.
I had another bird so I went looking for another sketch since the two
special people getting these cards may see each others.
At CAS Colours & Sketches #575, they are asking for a Seasonal card using
any sketch from this year.
I chose Sketch #556 from September 2nd
I hope you are feeling the joy of the season.

Oh, Bonnie! I do love your Nordic bird! So pretty cut from that subtle patterned paper - it coordinates so well with the gorgeous gold! Do I spy with my little eye a new embossing folder?? Beautiful birds of a feather and what a wonderful time of year to share them!
Thanks so much for playing with my sketch this week, my friend!

These are so pretty and I like the blues you used. Those birds have found a wonderful home with you.
You can post these Nordic birdies anytime you want Bonnie...I will NOT get tired of seeing them! I love the dsp you used on the birds too...thought it was ink blending till you mentioned the dsp. Great take on Michele's sketch on the first card and the 2nd one is just as beautiful...love them both!! Hugs. :0)
I recognized Michele's sketch right away and your colors, textures and gold accents made a beautiful card, Bonnie. I love the patterned paper strip on the second one. It left a perfect place for the wonderful sentiment.
