Bird Gathering
on
I don’t know how many times over the past few weeks I’ve told myself I was going to play along with the color challenges over at Dynamic Duos! Today I made it a point to do just that, but almost ran out of time! The colors are one of my favorite combinations, so I really couldn’t resist any longer!
I immediately thought of these little birds…

| Stamp: Verve (sentiment from Chicks Rule set), A Muse (Chevrons) Paper: SU cardstock (Pacific Point, Basic Black), Paper Trey cardstock (white) Accessories: Memory Box die (Resting Birds), foam dots |
My maiden name is the name of a bird, so with my side of the family descending upon our house for the upcoming holiday weekend, how could I not make a bird card?! Yes, I’m a bit of a bird brain…
I popped up all five of the feathered friends for dimension after stamping a single chevron stripe. I came across the sentiment in my Verve Stamps stash while searching for that perfect font and sentiment to use.
I’m busy being the obsessive-compulsive planner that I am when it comes to family event planning. There will be eight children to entertain with a good chance of rain in the forecast! Ages? Four months up to 11, mostly boys. I’m thinking Memorial Day cupcake decorations sound pretty fun!
Enjoy your Thursday!
