Morning readers,
With the ongoing cruddy weather around here, I have, plainly, felt the urge to cheer myself up by using brighter colours in my crafting! The weather's been so horrid that I've hardly left the house - no, a visit to Costco doesn't really count, does it?
I've a make to share with you today ....... two "same but different" makes, using one piece of A4 yellow card, one piece of 6" x 6" Designer paper (from a pack I won and thought I should crack the seal on) and new stamps (SO very cute) from Aall & Create and TCP - check them out below

- Alcohol markers to colour my images and background (circular image panel) and a makeup brush used to apply the charming pink ink to the outer edges of the rectangular card (I used glitter pens on one of the envelopes, primarily to cover up a slight blurring to the image - DOH!)

I absolutely LOVE these two cards. Great colouring of those fab quirky birds and great designer papers and composition. 👍

Absolutely brilliant cards Kathy! I adore the happy colours, especially as the sun is basically non-existent here too. We're thinking of building an Ark, Dudley is selling tickets at the rate of one treat per ticket - a decent deal really! I've seen these fun birds a fair bit recently and am almost about to crumble. It just struck me how unisex they are - suitable for gal, fella and anyone in between.

So bright and pretty, and the horrid weather does make one want to brighten it up a bit and you certainly did that brilliantly with your pretty sentiment dp in a rainbow of colours, and the added A & C quirky bird image, beautifully coloured Kathy. x
Such fun and colorful cards! So glad this challenge helped you jump into a new paper pack. Thanks for linking up to Double D Challenge. Best of luck to you!
Those two cards are really fabulous. I love the bright and happy colours and these stunning birds. They are so gorgeous especially in front of that loud and lovely shining background paper. There´s a bit of sun in these grey days. I also love these great glossy eyes and this very adorable lettering.
Thank you so much for sharing these cards with the current Everybody-Art-Challenge.
Hugs Uschi
