Hi there!
Time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!
This week's challenge:
This cute little chickadee is from an older set called You Will Find Refuge. I've always loved chickadees, probably because they're cute like plump babies even when they're adults. This image has the branch with it and ODBD also has a custom die to cut it out with, the Chickadee Die...I love that! Here's what the set and die look like to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.
For the Challange, I decided to do clouds. I've never done this before so I was a little aprehensive, but I liked the way it came out. To make them, I taped three 1" circles together and sponged with Ballet Blue Ink above the top of it randomly on white paper.
For all ingredients used:
Stamps: You Will Find Refuge (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Whisper White (Stampin Up), Watercolor Bouquet (K&Co)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Amaretto (Powder Puffs), Ballet Blue (Stampin Up)
Accessories: Bow-Easy, Golden Maple Silk Ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon), sponge, adhesive pearls (Want-2-Scrap), Grand Labels 23, Classic Scalloped Ovals Large (Spellbinders), Chickadee Die (ODBD), Flower (Prima), mineral spirits, Prismacolor Pencils: Violet Blue, Blue Violet Lake, Black, Cool Greys, Eggshell, Cream, Sand, White, Chocolate

That's it for today! Hope this gives you a little inspiration and you're able to join in the challenge this week!
Blessings!

What a sweet little chickadee! He just looks like he stopped by to pick up a sunflower seed! Beautiful coloring and composition!
ReplyDeleteI think it is just brilliant how you have used those two dies to create such a lovely frame for this Psalm....and the chickadee is just perfectly perched over it. Finished with an oh so lovely bow, your card is just fabulous.....truly love this one.
ReplyDeleteI love your card Kathi, the paper is beautiful and cheery, and your clouds are really beautiful. I love chickadees too, they're such friendly little birds. I have them in my feeder all year long, and they sit right there next to me and watch me while I am filling it! That stamp and die are on my wish list. (I have a very long wish list) :-) I love the stamps with the matching dies, they are so easy to use!
