Avian Field Notes ~ Double D Challenges

Are you a bird lover?  I sure am!  I enjoy watching the birds (and pesky squirrels) eating at our feeders every day.  The DD Challenges duo, Darlene and Diane have a fantastic challenge for you this next two weeks, with the theme of "Birds".

 

I'm all in on this one!  I pulled out Honeybee Stamps Lovely Layers Winter Birds to create a vintage style card.  One that you might find in a book of Avian Field Notes. 

 

 

I've tucked in some leaves and berries from Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms.  This is all nestled on top of a wonderful numeric embossing folder from Carabelle Studios.  I rubbed a bit of Walnut Stain DOX Ink over the numbers to give it a time worn look.

 

A couple of Tim Holtz Field Notes stamps are included to finish this entry.

 

I do hope you'll visit DD Challenge to see more avian inspired designs from our gifted team.

Here's the inspiration tile to help you get started:

 

And here's what you could win when you play along.

Ephesians 3:16-19 ~ WAW Guest Designer

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  I hope you're doing well and your week is floating along smoothly.  I've been invited to be a guest designer at Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog, and I'm honored to be creating with such a talented team that brings praise and honor to The Lord.  

If you're not familiar with Word Art Wednesday, it's a family friendly "Anything Goes" challenge that provides an optional biblical word art piece that you may incorporate into your design, but this is strictly optional.  

The word art for this challenge is:

 

 I printed the verse using my home printer onto a piece of Hammermill 100# white cardstock.  I masked off the verse portion of the panel and ink blended the top using Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass DOX inks.

 If you look closely, you'll see some white paint splatters to add a splash of detail.

 

The flowers are Pholox Blooms and Leaves by Birch Press Design.  I love how the layers align perfectly and add depth to the flowers.

 

I do hope you'll take a moment to visit the Word Art Wednesday challenge blog to see more amazing designs from their talented team, and join in on the fun!  It's always "Anything Goes" as long as is family friendly.

Going Green ~ Double D Challenge

Hi-dy Ho friends!  Happy March!!  We have a new challenge starting up over at Double D Challenges, with the theme of "Going Green".

 

I went rummaging through my printed papers and found two patterns that went really well together and came up with this card.  I'm determined to pare down my printed paper stash and this card gave me a little boost.

The cute bunny in a tea cup is a rub-on that I picked up at Amazon.  I've placed it onto a textured tag and tied a soft pink ribbon to it.

 

The sentiment is a pre-foiled sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio.

Do stop by Double D Challenges to see what the talented ladies over there came up with to inspire you.

Here's what the inspiration tile looks like:
