My weekend was for the birds!

Yes, for the birds but I don't mean that in a negative way!  I recently added a few more PTI birds to my stash - their Brushed Birds sang to me over the weekend in a symphony of colorful notes!  Hope you like them: 





I swiped my embossing folder with Sea Glass ink prior to embossing.




This time, I swiped my embossing folder with Twilight ink prior to embossing.


If you know me at all, you'll know just which bird I'll share with the Triple B Challenge for May 2023!

  6. Ooooh, I'm always for the birds and these are extra pretty and sweet! I especially love the sentiment on the first card, and how you did the nests on the others. The Dogwood embossing is such a beautiful background, but I also absolutely love the big leaves and relative simplicity of your first card. I keep going back to that one... I love how you don't let any moss grown under your new toys. It's always a fun visit, Michele!

  14. You know how much I love birds and these are all so cute, Michele. I love how you made the nests to go with them. You want the dogwood die and I need the dogwood embossing folder.

  15. Oh goodness, for the birds for sure! But I am loving it!!! These birds are so sweet as is all the cards. You do them justice Michele, I'd more than likely make them look ugly and that would be way to sad. Such sweet little birds they are. Nicely done! Hugs, Brenda
