Birdie Hello

Today I'm playing at Shopping Our Stash where this time it's all about things you would see in the sky. I'm happy to see the return of migrating birds to my area - House Finch, Blue Heron, Red Wing Blackbird and more!

Shopping Our Stash is all about reminding you to get the most of the products you already own. And in today economy that's always a good thing - to take care of what you have and make it last longer. Make wise investments in things that you love so they stay timeless.

My card starts with a Distress Oxide blended background. Sometimes I just make panels with different color combinations and put them to the side to wait for the perfect design. I topped the panel with a Quatrefoil panel from Waffle Flower Crafts. I intentionally added some of the negative die cut pieces so that the birds wouldn't get lost in the busy background.

Next I added branches with the Hibiscus Branch die set. I alternated the color of the leaves to add some depth and dimension to the design.

The Birdie Duo is a die cut and stencil set. I inked the birds with Distress Ink and then added some accents with a white gel pen. The sentiment is from the Paper Hug set. I love the mixed font and how the dies fussy cut the sentiments.

So keep looking up! You never know what you'll spot!
