I've been trying to use up the designer papers I've hoarded loved for ages, so today's card includes some pretty papers from a Teresa Collins pad called Everyday Moments. I also used snippets of Bashful Blue and So Saffron cardstock from SU! Those colors may also be retired by now too, I just can't keep up with all that anymore 😐
I found this die-cut bird and branch in my snippets box, so I just colored them both with Copics and glaze pens. The scalloped border was done with a Sweet'n'Sassy die; the circle with a MFT stitched die, and the sentiment panel with a Lil Inker stitched die. I received the sentiment stamp free with a Lawn Fawn order and have had it probably 3 years or more.
I based my card on the Retro Rubber challenge #167 - let's get sketchy

Awe! I love your little birdie here! I don't know why, but they're by far one of my faves on cards! You've done such a wonderful job with the sketch and kudos for you on using more of those papers!! (Still sorting and hoping to be using more before I keep getting more in!! LOL!!) I love this bird holding the berries in his beak! Great inspiration friend!
A delightful card card Carol, Love the bird die, and the papers, all such a great match.

What a beautiful bird for your lovely card!! Very pretty papers and great design!! I, too, need to work on using up those design papers. Not sure why I just ordered more, I guess because I couldn’t pass up the good sale, lol! Take care, hugs!!

Your bird is gorgeous - beautifully colored! And I hear you on hoarding paper. I save it for the perfect project then it gets buried in my stash and is never used! I'm glad you are using your paper. The delicate flowers are gorgeous for the bird and pop so well on the blue.
So cute.
This is such a beautiful card, Carol! I love your bird and those pretty papers you've kept in your stash! The colors are wonderful! Love it! Yep, time really is flying by and i'm hoping soon our Fall weather gets here! TFS and I hope you have an amazing day! Hugs~

What an elegant, deeply lovely greeting. I miss TC's line soooo much. Her products were elegant, glam, and so my style. It's wonderful to see TC in action here. You really created something marvellous with darling birdie card.
