Well I couldn't not make another card using the Memory Box Backyard Wren die today. It has been a bit of a dismal day... woke to no power, so read for a bit, before heading to two suburbs north to have breakfast before doing our grocery shopping. By the time we got home it was raining but the power was back on! It kept raining on and off so headed to the craft room for the afternoon.
And yeah, this time I made a blue bird. My card was inspired by this beautiful card from Lin
I loved the design Lin used, so I cased it. I die cut an arch (Hero Arts Infinity Arches die) and used Gina K Tapestry embossing folder. I still had my Distress Oxides out... The background panel was made with Speckled Egg spritzed with some Shimmer Spary - Frost. In real life it is so shimmery. I stamped the Couture Creations sentiment directly to the panel. I die cut the bird and used Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean to colour up the bird. The beak and eye were done with Altenew Charcoal Suit grey ink. I die cut Pinkfresh Studio Curvy leaves and blended Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. I used only part of the biggest die. I used some Scrapbook.com 3D adhesive strips to add dimension to the frame and used some 3D dimensionals to pop up the bird. Some little blue gems from my stash finished the card.
I'm entering this into the Time Out Challenge and Just Us Girls collaboration challenge - Birds of a Feather.

Lin's design is great - I can see why you would want to CASE it! Your bird is really lovely - great choice of colours - and a fabulous blended and spritzed background panel! You've really managed to make this design your own! Thanks for entering this beautiful feathered friend into our collaboration challenge at Time Out Challenges and JUGS!
Hugs, Kate (DT Time Out Challenges)!
