DYSU - A Little Birdie Told Me..


Morning all, today brings us another fun challenge from DYSU! This week, we would like to see BIRDS on your creations!



These are our fabulous sponsors this week:


Meljen's Designs
* Winner Choice of 4 Images



Robyn's Fetish
* Winner’s Choice of 5 Digital Stamps



Little Claire's Designs


 
  I have made two cards for today's challenge, my first card is using some images from Little Claire's stamp set, Butterfly Tree.

I coloured the tree with Steadtler ergo soft pencils, and added the sentiment from the same set.


I added some gems to some of the larger butterflies for some sparkle.


Finally I added some Bers Twine from The Ribbon Reel.


I kept it clean and simple, as the image is so pretty coloured and needs very little embellishing. Next time, I'm going to go for a fussy & fancy approach to this lovely image!

Next up I have a card using an image from Robyn's Fetish, called A Little birdie told Me, and coloured with Promarkers.



The papers are from Dovecraft Tea Party paper stack, and the spotty chiffon ribbon and bakers twine bow are both from The Ribbon Reel.


The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Mat Stack One, cut using a woodware label punch.


The shaped card base is from Craftwork Cards.


I hope you feel inspired to create some bird themed creations with us this week, for some more inspiration, please check out the amazing D.T!

I would like to enter BOTH cards into Craft Your Days Away challenge.
I would like to enter Butterfly Tree into Cupcake Inspirations challenge.
I would like to enter my Robyn's Fetish Birdie card into Robyn's fetish challenge.
I would like to enter BOTH cards into Stamptacular Sundays Challenge.

Pauline
