Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
My friend Nance came to play last week. It's always fun to catch up and
play with each other's toys! Nance had a treasure trove of things for me to try.
I actually have a completed card from our playdate!
This bird die came from Waffle Flower (I think) and has a stencil with it. I'm terrible at
stenciling but wanted to give it a try. It went pretty well this time. I perched him on
a leaf that was die cut from an Alex Syberia die and used one of Nance's new
embossing folders to frame it all.
Thanks for a fun day, my friend. Let's do it again soon!

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
We've been waiting for signs of nesting by our little Bluebird friends - perhaps they've found better digs?
ReplyDeleteYour darling little bluebird is just the ticket this morning, Bonnie... sure wish I could have joined your playdate with Nance again!

Your stenciling looks great, Bonnie! Love the leafy sprig you perched that pretty little bird on. Thanks for sharing this with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and I really like your embossed background. Did I tell you we have Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird feeding in our back yard? I had never seen one until we moved here. Beautiful blue colors and you see the blue more when they fly.

Love your pretty bluebird perched on the leaf sprig, and such a lovely embossed background. Your stenciling looks great. Love the colors. I wish I lived closer for a fun play date also.
ReplyDeleteYour bluebird is beautifully stenciled Bonnie and looks perfect nestled onto that branch!! Love the embossing folder background too! So glad you had a fun stamping day with Nance...those days are the best!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Bonnie! I can't imagine why you think you can't stencil because this is wonderful! Mr Bird and branch are perfectly resting within the embossing and it's terrific.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of stenciling the blue bird, Bonnie, and the leafy branch is a great place for him to perch inside that wonderful embossed frame.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your delightful card with us at Just Us Girls.

I love an embossed panel in white and a pop of color. Your card is beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with a bird die as far as I'm concerned. You did a beautiful job with the stenciling. I love how you used the folder which is one of my new favorites. Such a pretty card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteYour bird looks wonderful. I love the smooth color transitions. Your stenciling is perfect. I love the swirling in the background; it's a beautiful frame for this blue bird. Gorgeous card, my dear Bonnie.

what a pretty little bird ❤️
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed so many of your beautiful cards Bonnie but hubby and I have been away for just over a month to Australia to visit our son and I have been slow to get back to commenting but am in the swing of it again now. I love your beautiful bird and the pretty EF frames it perfectly. Lovely to have a play day with Nance too. x
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love to read about friends' play dates and have to admit to being a bit jealous when playing with each other's "toys"! Your bluebird is precious and I'm totally in love with the embossed background!
