A New Challenge ... Birds and Flower cards

 The Ladies at Double 'D' have a NEW Challenge... right up my alley...  



Here's my card for their March Challenge


Attached this sweet little die cut bird (Uniquely Creative - a friends die), which I watercoloured with Distress Inks,  to the background that I created using Distress Inks blended through Splash Stencil (from Craft Essentials).  Stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts- Petite Wishes) with black ink on a strip of lime green card and attached this with foam tape.    I am also playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge- ctd733.. pale blue, yellow and lime
My second card is for the 


Love the pastel colours of the Moodboard (my card is a lot softer in real life).  Stamped the floral cake image (Stampin' Up -Happy Birthday to You set) and white embossed it... then watercoloured it with Distress Inks and fussy cut it out.  Stamped and white embossed the sentiment (Close to my Heart - Joyful Birthday Occasions set) and pale green card and attached to the pink patterned paper background with a zigzag die cut edge... finished the card using foam tape to attach the cake.
Thanks for stopping by my blog... have a Wonderful Day,     Cheers Robyn

  5. Such a tweet little bird with beautiful shading, and that stencil! It's the perfect backdrop, Robyn! It's always fun seeing how crafters are inspired by the Mood Board at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. Thank you for sharing your love of all things flowers with us, and I hope to see more of your designs soon.
