Using the same SU! paper pad, I made a 2nd card using some different patterns along with a different sentiment. I used a dark green card base for this one and added some white candy dots for accents along with a black dot for the bird's eye. I colored the bird with Copics and added an older sentiment that has the name worn off after so many years of using it.
I'll share this card with these two challenges:
The Snippets Playground #484 - Must Use Snippets (the entire card was made with snippets)
the Allsorts Challenge Week #789 - Use Circles or A/G
Thanks for stopping by and I hope it's cool where you live. We are bracing for triple digit temperatures today with very high humidity, so I'll be staying indoors without a doubt! Keeping my fingers crossed that my old A/C unit keeps working and we soon get some much-needed rain too! 😉

Got dual hats on today Carol! With my Allsorts GD one on, I’d like to say thanks for entering this smashing card into the challenge and using the theme.
ReplyDeleteWith my Playground Prefect’s badge in, I’d like to say thanks for coming to play with this card. Lovely layout and great use of your snippets. Saved you a choccy cookie. Xxx
These are stunning cards Carol! The bird is darling, like how you colored it and those backgrounds are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that little bird is super cute! Love how you've colored him and very cool design using those papers with the triangle layout design too! There's always room for using those papers for sure and glad you were able to pull out those pretty ones! These are both gorgeous cards! We had high wind storms come through last night, but all is ok now. Some around the area without power still though.
ReplyDeleteStay cool my friend!
A great way of using some of your pretty papers - cute bird die as well
ReplyDeleteGorgeous designs, thanks for sharing at Allsorts this week.

Absolutely gorgeous, I love that sweet, little bird! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, Carol....these are gorgeous cards! Love the paper (*wink) and that adorable bird die! Great design as well! Yep, today is horrible and I hate keeping Bailee inside but it's way to hot for her. I am praying for some rain, too! My AC has been on 70 all day and it does not even feel like it's on. Let's hope for some cooler weather! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThe design and colours are very pleasing on the eye Carol and the focal circle just perfect for our Allsorts theme, many thanks for joining us.

Beautiful cards, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI love the bird die and how you've used those pretty papers.
The diamond card design is so creative, and the colored bird on the second card is delightful!
Happy Wednesday!
OH WOW ... both cards are FABULOUS and I'm so glad you used the fun, easy technique we shared on our new challenge blog. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our new Love Those Pretty Papers challenge as well as our Triple B challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

We got the much needed rain yesterday but now I am thinking it has to be really high humidity outside. I peeked at the thermometer out side in the shed wall and it reads 90 degrees in the shade. UGH!
ReplyDeleteI love both cards. They produced an immediate smile, which I needed today.
Hugs and Blessings
Such a cute design! The pretty papers that you used are just perfect for the cards!

Thank you for the link to the new challenge. I have so much designer paper that I need to use and that challenge is perfect for me. I love the pretty papers you used and the die cut birds are great and colored nicely to match your papers.
ReplyDeleteHi dear friend, I'm finally here. I'm very busy but I'm trying to catch up with my late comments. Then, I will make a break, I really need time for myself as I don't want become crazy. You know my situation and my very limited time. Here the humid hot is out of control (as my Mum is :/ LOL) So don't worry for me if you don't find my posts or comments, I'm well.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love both your cards, such adorable versions with those pretty papers and colours and the little bird is a so cute focal point and you coloured it so well!! I have this bird too, very unused, but love it! The burlap diecut looks great as well the dots!
Sending big hugs across the miles!! Take care of yourself and stay fresh at home. Hope the rain will arrive in your zone and also for us here!
Beautiful cards Carol, I love them both looking so different, but the same!
ReplyDeleteI am sitting with an Autumn jumper on at the moment, we haven't had decent Summer temperatures at all. I hope we do before Winter comes! Hope you survived the heat. x
