Happy Friday Everyone!
OMG! Can you believe it is already the END of JULY?
Where Oh Where is the time going?
Anyways, I need to ask ... "Have you been to the Dies R Us store lately?"
There have been literally hundreds of new dies released
and offered through out this month and you'll want to get your order in right away!
Today I've created a card for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog and I hope to offer you a little warm weather inspiration along the way! By using die cuts, ink & sponges, I think I've succeeded in creating a card that just by looking at it gives you a feeling of peace and tranquility!
Who
doesn't enjoy sitting on a park bench just listening to the birds
singing in the trees? Well, that's what I had in mind when creating
today's card using only TWO die cuts.
The dies I've used today are:
When
I can't find the background design paper I want to use, I simply pull
out my ink and sponges and create my own as I've done today. Plus I
wanted my dies to be the focus of my card ... not the background.
To
create the various colors for my birds/butterflies, I first die cut the
entire die using green card stock then used scraps of red, blue and
purple card stock to run back through just those portions of the die
that contained the birds/butterflies. A little snip here & there
... a touch of white glue and VIOLA ... the birds were singing their
happy tunes!
Challenges:
As You Like It Challenge - Fur or Feathers (and Why)
I'm going with Feathers! Who doesn't enjoy watching the birds and listening to their sweet songs. That is one of my favorite relaxation things to do. Sit on the deck with a cool refreshment and watch the birds come & go to our 3 different feeders. Of course I get the advantage of the FUR element as well since where there are bird feeders there are also squirrels! LOL!
