Week 815 Close to Nature/ Anything Goes

Hello!

Hope you are well!

This is Week 815 over at Allsorts and Brenda is our host!

I made this.

 

I needed a Birthday card. This guy is Feathered Friend from Papertrey Ink. I cut him out of a gelli print. The EF I think is old from SU. The doily is SU. Die cut foliage is Spellbinders. With a kraft background, and Bite Me #1 Ephemera from AALL and Create. It says; Friendships must be built on a solid foundation of alcohol, sarcasm, inappropriateness, and shenanigans. 

Go see what the rest of the DT have created!

Prizes are A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create!

 

 

Can you Handle the Pressure Anything Goes with a Twist of a 3D Folder

Creative Crafting Uncles #61 Happy Birthday

 Inspiration Station Challenge #69 Photo prompt I was inspired by the colors and the muted background

Triple B January 2025 Anything Goes as long as it has Birds, Blooms or Butterflies

I also made these. I'm sorry they are Christmas! Or, it's never too early to start Christmas cards!

 

I am still trying to use up the old Mercury Glass acetate I got quite a while ago from SU!

I found these cute Chickadee rub-ons, and they worked perfectly! On a white background! I had tried colored card stock, but ughh! The Rub-Ons are Royal Langnickel. I found a website here. The rub ons are OLD! The top card sentiment is from an unmounted grab bag from DRS Designs; which I see is now closed. Sentiment was embossed with gold EP. 

The bottom card EF folder is probably SU; the sentiment is!

Lovely post of Birdies Gail, the chap on your Allsorts card looks very plump sitting on the branch. The vellum used on the second two is really effective and it's ever too early to get some Christmas cards made.

Love your Feather friend card Gail, the embossed texture and layered die-cuts give depth to the card and your quote is so funny! x

A great use of your gelli print, it looks fab for the birdie and I love your other little birds too x

Linby said...

Your bird looks great cute from the gelli prints and a lovely vintage feel to your card too. The stickers look wonderful with the acetate on your other cards, a really unusual effect.
