My Paper Doll Friend Mary Marsh, asked me to make a card for the Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge... so I told her that I didn't have any of their beautiful stamps... so Marystamped some, and mailed them to me... what a wonderful friend...
So since she sent me two I had to make two CARDS...
So here they are...
The one up above is all layers of papers.. to represent the look of the person that loves birds and watches them... they always seem to have important papers around... on pictures of birds are on the top of the pile...
Thus the Hinge, button, roses, and Mica... all to represent 'clutter' on the table...
and the bird picture on the top...
Interesting fact... Purple Finches were very popular during the depression, because it was very inexpensive to buy a finch and a cage to amuse you and make you feel happier... so a lot of people bought them... only to let them loose after the depression ended... thus all the purple 'house' finches...
Now this one is a little more formal card...
The back ground was made with a resist technique...
Using a Champagne Versa Mark, I stamped Thistle all over a sheet of glossy paper...
then I used Inks by Ranger with a brayer and created my background paper
Spellbinder were used to create all the shapes...
The Bird was colored with Twinkling H20's...This gold finch(also a Male) is really happy being so near the thistle... they love it... their favorite food...
The paper that covers the front of the card is from K & Company...
Hope that you enjoy these cards... and thanks again Mary for going to all the trouble you did so I could join in the Challenge...
I certainly did enjoy it..
Have a super nice day...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
