Now, here’s my card
“Wait just a minute”,
you're saying…
“I’ve seen that Chickadee before!”
Yes, you have, it’s nothing new (You Will Find Refuge), BUT, the Chickadee Die is! Cool huh! And the verse is from Scripture Collection 7, released last month.
What IS new is that border and the foliage behind the bird!
Bird Border & Corners! And guess what… I designed this set!! Let me tell ya, I have waaaay too much fun with Our Daily Bread designs! I also designed the Bird & Butterfly Labels that match Spellbinders Labels 18!
Here is what the scene looked like before adding the die cut Chickadee and verse.
I took the foliage corner stamp and stamped it turning it every which way. The clouds were done with a homemade template, you can see “how-to” here. Inks used were Ranger Bundled Sage, Forest Moss, Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Milled Lavender and an old rainbow pad with Awning Green.
The Chickadee is colored with Copics, highlighted with Sakura white gel pen.
******
The Mother's Day and Father's Day sets coordinate with last year's sets,
Happy Father's Day, Dad, Happy Mother’s Day, and Mom and are 15% off for the month!

I hope you enjoyed my card today….

Love this card, the bird die is wonderful. Thanks for sharing and a chance to win a great prize.
This is so very, very lovely. I absolutely love all of the elements, but my favorite is the scripture. It all goes together so well. An amazing example to motivate, inspire and encourage. We are the winners with a stop like this on the blog hop.
I'm glad you showed what the background images looked like before you added the focal images. Very pretty and so much potential for so many different looks.
Gorgeous scene using that sweet chickadee. Your designed sets are fabulous. Ordered them all today! Thanks for the inspiration! Hugs! F²
This scene is wonderful. I love how you have created the reflection of the bird in the water. Great use of the stamps.
So beautiful. You really got creative. Your blog post is also outstanding. The way you enlarged your wording, and putting the whole release together is appreciated.
What a beautiful card. Thank you for sharing the how with us.
Love the background you created - the leaves and clouds frame your chickadee perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
