Seize the Birthday #274, Triple B 11.23 and NBUS #56

I had been waiting for Honey Bee's Fall Bouquets to come back in stock and I finally got it.  I made a card that fits into Seize the Birthday and Triple B and since the dies are new it's going to NBUS too.

 

Everything was cut from  colored cardstock and the edges inked.  I had to go over the ribs on the pumpkin several times because the ink kept fading back.  The three stems in the back are from their Fall Foliage.  The background was embossed with SU's Subtle folder.   I can see making a lot more arrangements in that pumpkin.

Thanks for dropping by.  It warms my heart.

Double D and Triple B for April 2023

I have a card to share today that fits both the challenge at Double D "Things that Fly" and the one at Triple B which is always Birds, Butterflies and Blooms.  I had to buy the birdhouse and bluebird after seeing a video from Dawn at WPlus9.  I used the house on an earlier card but the bird is making his debut. 

The birdhouse was cut from TH Woodgrain cs and then I ran an ink pad over it to bring out the details. The bird was cut from white and ink blended to look like a bluebird.  The ones I have at my feeder are much darker but he was done first. I needed something to perch him on and went with Dogwood from Honey Bee.   The 'sky' is Spring Rain from PTI, embossed with a coverplate from STAMPlorations. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great weekend!

Triple B Challenge #1

Diane and Darlene, the creative geniuses behind several other card challenges have come up with another one.  Triple B which stands for Birds, Blooms and Butterflies.  That is right up my alley so I'll be sending cards to them often.  The one I have to share today I made for another of their challenges but missed the deadline.

 

I wanted to see if I could turn HoneyBee's Winter Birds cardinal die into a female.  I think she looks pretty good in Desert Storm cs with selective inking.  I gave her a snowy branch from HB's Winter Foliage to perch on with a little gloss for the berries.  An inked oval with splatters and a coverplate from Altenew make up the background.   

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a wonderful week.
