Hello!
First, I need to apologize, life has kept me very sporadic lately but unfortunately it will be getting worse. I'll spare you all the details but just know that I will be watching your posts and checking in, as possible!
Today's card is for a couple of different challenges - NBUS #53, Four Seasons: August - Anything Summer Goes and Triple B: August - Birds, Butterflies & Blossoms. So here it is ~
I started with the sketch from FMS, but I just couldn't get it posted it time! Enter the bird for Triple B and Four Seasons, and then an NBUS die! Wow -- how'd I do all that?! I used my new win, theWF Media Mat (thanks, RosiGrl and Waffle Flower) to ink blend my bird using a few DIs. I had originally chosen to place the "banner" farther to the right and stamp the sentiment below but things changed as I went. I actually really like the sentiment up above and the open space below for some reason!
Now, he might be adorned in masculine colors but trust me, he's enjoying his summer!
Supplies:
MB - Backyard Wren (NBUS), and Woodsy Plaid dp
WF - Arched Dome dies
Splb - Be Bold Blooms (made into a branch - trust me, that bird's all fluff and no weight - ha)
PTI - Inside & Out Well Wishes
Well that's it for me -- I hope to see you all soon, and thanks SO MUCH for your visit!
Hugs,
TK

This sweet bird die is waiting patiently in my NBUS box! I love how you colored him and how he looks with the plaid! Sounds like a busy time for you. I hope you get some time to rest and create!
No apologies needed, TK life happens! Your card is fabulous! Love the sweet bluebird and the plaid. This is sure to perk up the recipient!
I do love bird cards, and this one is fabulous!
Your little bird is so sweet TK. Love him paired with the plaid. And I love your creative design using a reversed arch for the bird to perch on ... so clever!! xx
You put the grip mat to great use with this lovely card, TK. The colors on the wren as beautiful! Sorry that life is keeping you from this hobby you love. Hopefully things will ease up soon!
Any card with a bird on it pulls me in, TK, and I love him in blue with that fabulous plaid background.
