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!

So fabulous! Love the Little Boy card with the darker color - really gives some dimension!

Bonnie said...

Sweet, sweet birds, Michele! I can see you had a lot of fun coloring and placing them on beautiful backgrounds! Love the birds and the dogwoods in the background! I don't know how you could pick a favorite!

What a perfect trio of bird cards. I love that string nest what a brilliant idea. Can't choose a favourite, too hard xx

Cat Craig said...

Quite a collection, all colored in lovely shades.

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!

I see why these little birdies sang to you this weekend! This is a trio of prettiness, Michele and I love the nests you created!

Cynthia said...

I need more practice with my PTI birds set!

Those birds will certainly have a good home coming into your house! You have already made them shine my friend!

Jeanne said...

Well, aren't these just the prettiest and the sweetest? Congrats on the newest additions to your stash. Looks like they are right at home. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you and the birds had a FABULOUS weekend Michele! The brushed birds is one of my all time favorite bird sets and definitely a go to for me, so I know you will definitely get your money's worth from these chubby little birdies! All 3 cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I can't pick a favorite either!! Hugs. :0)

Beautiful birds, no matter the color used! The "brushed" aspect of these stamps are pretty amazing

tonilea said...

Great job on these cards. I have those birds too and love them. I love the embossing folder you used too. I must look for that!

Bobby said...

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.

Brenda said...

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

Darlene said...
