Little Bird In the Sky
Like others, I am soooooo ready for spring so I 'needed' to make a card with light spring colors! I made a card similiar to this before and didn't like it because of the colors I used so I CASED myself! I've said it before and I'll say it again, SU! is really getting with the times with their new cling stamps and punches. Thank you SU! (by the way, if you need any SU! gear I am a demo and can get it for you...just had an order today...thanks Kim!)
I am also liking the paper flowers I am seeing everywhere. Maybe I should schedule a day where I just make embellishments and use up all my scraps. Today I dug out my crochet hook and thread to 'practice' making crochet flowers. It's been awhile and I'm really having to work at keeping that thin little thread in my hands and get the tension right. Ah age...! I messed up the middle of one, therefore, a button center!
Back to my card. The deets of the card meets requirements on several challenges. They are:
- Crafty Creations Challenge to make a flower
- Cupcake Craft Challenge to add flowers
- Die Cuts Dreams Challenge to use at least punches, I used 3.
- Die Cuts R Us to make paper flowers.
- Challenge Up Your Life to use a flower
- Just Us Girls to make a flap card
- Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge that anything goes
- Pile it On to use pastel colors
- 365 Cards Day 11, Lovely Landscape
Enough for tonight, need to make some St. Patty mints for the office staff while I watch Brothers and Sisters!
Have a great week.

Sam this is glorious - love the birdie and your paper flower. I, too, just started practicing crochet flowers - my tension is pretty tight so it's a bit hard with a tiny hook. Love your button center as a work around :-) Thanks so much for supporting Just Us Girls by being an active participant in our challenges. We appreciate our loyal followers! We look forward to your take on our offerings ☺
Beautiful card - love the flower!
