Swan river

Swan River - Todays challenge at Creative Card Crew is to have a bird somewhere on your project. We are sponsored by the awesome Simon Says Stamp.

For this challenge, I made a center step card. These are so easy to make and so fun to recieve!

My image is a Phindy's Place image. I colored it with Copics.

I added Flower Soft to the flower box on the mill. I used a white poster paint pen to make the white bubbles/foam where the water is hitting the river. I also added some ultra fine glitter to the water.

I used more Flower Soft to make my tree a fall tree. This gives it such a nice texture.

My flower is one that I picked up at the scrapbooking convention. The flowers are made of ribbon and I thought it was just right for this fall scene.

Blue Birds

 

Blue Birds - A new sketch challenge is starting at Seems a Little Sketchy.

 

My DP's are DCWV At Home. The doily is a Cheery Lane die; as is the thin swirly vines.

 

The punches are SU punches and the sentiment is Hot Off the Press.

 

My flowers are Heartfelt Creations Posey's cut with a coordinating SB. I shaped them with my McGill embossing tools and mat.

 

I added Bark elements by Barbara Trombley to the centers. I love this product. They use really elements from nature and they smell really good. This one smells like wood chips. I think quite perfect for my tree perched blue birds.

 



My image is Digi Doodles, who are our sponsor for this challenge. I decided that I would make my birds Blue Birds. As you can see from the image that I would on the Internet that the female is not as bright as the male; as is common with birds.

Feathered Friends

 Feathered Friends - Are you a freind to those with feather's? Have you left birdseed in a feeder? This challenge at Alphabet challenge Blog is all about those seed eating, featherly frocked creatures also know as birds!!

My DP is Heidi Grace Designs. It is double sided so I used both sides. My image is Tweet House by Doodle Pantry. One of my team mates also used this image. Her's is really different from mine, so hope over to Alphabet Challenge Blog and see what she did with it. Her's is really bright and colorful.

My image is printed on Neeha Solor white, then colored with Copic's.  I thought it would be really fun to use real feathers on it, so I bought a package of brightly colored spotted feathers.

The flower is Heartfelt Creations. I made it to the semi-finals for their DT and these are the left-overs from a lay-out that I had to mail in to them. I have not heard yet if I made the team, but my fingers are crossed. There stuff is so beautiful and I would love to design for them.
