I have used the Groovy Bird image and coloured it with chalks, and popped it up on dimensionals on a layered circle and scalloped circle. This was attached to DP that has a strip of white CS that I have used the Fiskar Sunburst Border Punch on, then sponged it and added a bow (oh yes, I am loving the Bow-Easy, it is that easy! LOL) and some nail bling along the length of it.
The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs...I won this set in the 'Three for Thee' challenge and this is the first time I have used it! I love the scriptures and sentiment on this set, I know I will use it a lot! I love to send cards with encouraging scripture and sentiments that come from the heart - this ODBD 'Thinking of you' set certainly makes it easy!
I have finished off with the torn inked corners that I love to use and the nail bling, just to bring that pink in a bit more and a light touch of Kindy Glitz (which for someone that wasn't a 'blingy' person, I seem to use a lot! LOL) and there you have it! It was a lot of fun colouring in this bird, it just seemed to take on a life of it's own - I didn't have any DP picked and just thought I would see what happened - just as well I found this DCWV DP or I would have been in trouble!!
This image and three others are available for you over at the Layers of Color so pop over there and get them - I would love to see what you do. There are more being given away at the New Release Party this coming weekend, 14-15 November and great prizes to be won - it could be you who wins...remember - you have to be 'in it to win it!!'
This card qualifies for the Allsorts Challenge where we to bring out our 'bling' as you can see this Groovy Bird has been blinged and shimmered, but the camera bever does it justice!
I will have another Sneak Peek for you this tomorrow - make sure you come back and check it out - is one of my favourite on the new sets...one of my nine favourites! LOL! Thank you for coming by today - I love to see you have been, your comments are always so encouraging - thank you!
One last thing - if you are brave, click here and see what we found in our garden this morning!!!
Hi Linda! This is beautiful, as always! Love the way you colored the freebie! I did pick mine up and will have to play with it soon! I love your torn corners and the pretty ribbon! Lovely card and that sentiment is one of my favorites in that fabulous set! It's one you'll use over and over again!!!
