Just Us Girls #718 - Word Week

Hey there crafty friends.  I'm so glad you dropped by.

We have something a little different for you this week at Just Us Girls.  We are collaborating with Time Out for a two week challenge.  I'm on both Design Teams and the host for this challenge - Birds.



I just HAD to have this Bird of the Mountain from Altenew and it was so popular I had to wait for it to come back in stock.  That was a while ago and I'm just making him into a card now.    He was cut from white cardstock that was inked in colors to make him into my version of a thrush.  The leafy branch is unlabeled so if you know whose it is please tell me.  I tried a Google picture and it came up as a piece of wall art that was the very same image in a large size.  The clouds were made with an MFT stencil.

There are a lot of different birds flying around the blog this week, all made by our talented Design Team and our Guest Tracey McNeely.  You'll want to check them out and also those made by the Time Out Design Team. 

FYI: When you link up a card at Just Us Girls it will automatically link up at Time Out.

Oh Bobby! I have to stop checking the blogs - my list of what I want is getting too long! Absolutely in love with this beautiful card and the colors you chose for this lovely bird! I have been wanting this bird too but - I was resisting till now. Love your soft clouds for the background too. I can never get them so soft.

Ina G said...

Wow what a magestic bird and how beautifully you have coloured 'her' and the leaves she is sitting on. Lovely soft clouds too.

Kate said...

I'm going out on a limb here to say this is one of the loveliest birds I've ever seen ... at least made from paper! It's a gorgeous die and I can see why you just had to have it but your colouring (bird and leaves) and attention to detail has lifted this little guy to a whole new level! And such a lovely stencilled background too! So exciting to be collaborating with JUGS! Hugs, Kate!

Bonnie said...
