Hi Everyone, In Scotland the
Songbirds are all starting to sing. It's so lovely to hear them happy now
Spring has arrived.....unless it's 5 o'clock in the morning ! So my Cheery Lynn Designs DT card today
was taken from inspiration of the blossom filled trees and these beautiful
birds.
I started by layering up a couple of my stacker dies to form
the frame of my card. I love how the inverted scallops give the appearance of a
postage stamp edge.
My branches were all cut out in textured Green Cardstock
and I went over the branch area with a Brown Copic Pen. I then shaded a small
piece of White Cardstock with a few shades of ink and then die cut out my
flowers and added a little Stickles into the centres.
My sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper.

My sweet little birds were shaded with Distress inks to
look like a Robin and a Blue Tit. I added a drop of Liquid Pearls for their
eyes and highlighted the details of the die with a Fine Liner pen. If you
google an image of the kind of bird you want to colour on your die, I find this makes
it easy to shade them.
The Current Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is Mothers Day and I do hope you
get a chance to join in for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree.
