The Paper Players #770 and NBUS #82

I went looking for a challenge to play in and found Jaydee's sketch at The Paper Players.  It worked great for a new die set.


I can't remember when I bought this Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Birds set but it was past time to get them on a card.  I LOVE birds and while the package had them all red I just couldn't do that so here are my blue jay, cardinal, chickadee and titmouse.  The die cuts each bird and its pieces at once so they are cut from white and colored with Distress Inks.  The embossed background is Hedgeberry from SSS and the sentiment is from Memory Box.  The sketch is a slimline but I liked the birds better on an A2 card.

These little fellows are making their way to Darnell's NBUS challenge too.

Thanks for dropping by and spending a little bit of your day with me.

Love your card Bobby. Those birds are so sweet and colorful. Glad you didn't make them all red. The embossed background is perfect with them.

Your little birds are as sweet as can be, Bobby! I'm so glad you brought them out, as they just make my heart happy and they're a great way to use the layout.

They work perfectly for this sketch, Bobby! It reminds me of our yard during this cold weather. The birds seem extra hungry. Me too come to think of it.

Yes, you definitely nailed the sketch with this card Bobby, and I too predict a winner! Your 4 colorful birdies just couldn't be any sweeter and I love that you didn't make them all red! Your embossed background is the perfect way to showcase these little friends too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

OH MY GOSH! I just love these birds! I love my birds too! You've given such attention to all the details on them as well! Just amazing! Thanks for playing with our sketch at the Players this week! You may have done some enabling--I might have to fly over the PPP website to see if they're still available!

Those birds are just wonderful! I love the rich colours of them and the cuteness of their winter warmers. Your colouring is amazing and that gorgeous leafy card front is a perfect playground for them. Thank you for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
