Just Us Girls #706 - Photo Week

The host this week at Just Us Girls is Carol Mc and this is the photo/moodboard she chose to inspire your cards. 

Here is a larger view.

You can choose from the images or the colors or even the sentiment.

Here's what my mind's eye saw.


Whenever there's an opportunity to make a bird, I'm going to do it.  The beautiful cardinal and the sentiment are from Honey Bee's Winter Birds.  The greenery and branch are from their Winter Greenery dies.  A little Oxide ink background and some snow made with Puff embossing powder and a few splatters give the scene a wintry look. 

What image inspires your imagination?  Go see what the Design Team and our guest Melissa have made and then make a card for our challenge.  We'd love to see you in the gallery.

This is amazing! Your cardinal is beautiful and I love the snow on the branch and greenery. The DO background is so soft and pretty with a very wintery vibe. Gorgeous!

Bobby... another beautiful cardinal. I was saying to Lisa and Vicki that I don't see enough cardinals at Christmas and they are so perfect. I can't believe we have three on the DT!

Your mind saw a great card! I love cardinals, they are so pretty. Your card turned out perfect.

What a perfect sentiment for your cardinal card Bobby! There's just enough snow to look real and the sky is like a Colorado one as the snow leaves after the storm. Great ideas!!!!!

Lisa Elton said...

Fabulous cardinal! Love the cluster you've nestled him into and that sentiment is perfect. Pretty card, Bobby!

That cardinal die is 'to die for' and has such detail. What a beautiful card Bobby and a great choice of background greenery and branch for him to perch on. Hope you are recovering well from your surgery.
