Birdhouse - Color Throwdown 213

This Northwoods birdhouse was just to pretty to pass up!  I had such fun coloring it with this week's Color Throwdown colors but had to throw in a few extra colors for balance.

The little flower in the lower right corner was the perfect embellishment and I dressed it up with some sheer ribbon.  You'll notice there is no sentiment on this card.  Typically I like to leave it off so the card can be used for many occasions or I can add one later.

I hope you are having a great week!

Northwoods SPRING Flowers

It's been so warm here in Atlanta that I spent Sunday working in my garden.  I don't have any tulips or daffodils but if I did, they would be up already!  I've seen them all over town.  I fear March is going to be really cold!

I colored up the flowers for spring with Copics and even colored the background with a very light blue.  I used my new greens on some of the leaves, G43 and G46.

Northwoods Mums

Just a quick post today of some fall flowers. I colored the vase and flowers with Copics and die cut it for an interesting shape. I hope you all had a restful and Happy Thanksgiving!

Easter Bunny

Here is another Easter card with this adorable image from Northwoods Stamps.  I used the same spring-y SEI paper to make this card as I did with the other Northwoods bunny.  Spellbinders has a new release of dies out and I got the Fleur De Lis Squares.  Here I used the largest of the 4 squares for a fancy frame.  For the green piece I used a Spellbinders Grommet Tag to ground the image. I embellished a little with Viva Decor Light Blue Pearl Pen for the flower centers.  Finished size is 5.25 square.

Easter is coming....

I've been making Easter cards lately and this adorable image is from Northwoods Stamps.  I paired him up with some spring-y SEI paper to make this square card.  Spellbinders has a new release of dies out and I got Fancy Tags 2.  The red side swirls were cut with a Fancy Tag and glued behind the kraft layer.  I embellished a little with a black gem for his eye, Glossy Accents on the butterfly and Viva Decor Light Blue Pearl Pen for the flower centers.  Finished size is 5 3/8 square.
