Bird with a Heart ~ Video

The challenge last week at StampNation was to create a card that makes you think of Spring. Before moving to WA the things that made me think of Spring were Easter, pastels, flowers and green everywhere. Now that I live up here, Spring comes much later. The birds are the first sign of Spring for me now. So, I made a card with birds.

The card base is River Rock cardstock. I embossed the bottom with the Needlepoint embossing folder. The leaves were punched out using SU Bird Punch in Lucky Limeade and Pear Pizazz cardstock. I attached them with my Tombow Mono Multi glue.

The heart feathered bird was fun to make. It's hard for me to explain so I filmed a video for you. ;) One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that I sponged the birds using Baja Breeze ink.

Now I challenge you! What reminds you of Spring? Make a Spring card using anything that makes you think of this delightful season.

Creative Blessings,
Heather North

Language of Friendship ~ Retro Sketches #14

Ending my week of sketches, a day late, with this Clean And Simple sketch from Retro Sketches.

I'm still not sure whether I like this card or hate it, but it was fun finally using that bird on a card.

You have plenty of time to play along and join in the fun at Retro Sketches. If you like sketches, this is a blog you should definitely add to your favorites. They are fairly new, but I have loved every sketch they have done so far.

Have you had a chance to check out the new catalog? Did you notice that Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (DSP) is still available? I used a piece of it to make my little birdie.

She has a rhinestone for her eye. I sponged the bird using Baja Breeze. The sentiment was stamped in Baja Breeze. It's difficult to see in the picture, but it looks nice in person.
