Blue birds

I am a few weeks late for Becky's last challenge, but that's alright. I actually made it on time but didn't post it. I think this card had to grow on me a little bit.
I love this egg and dart pattern from PTI's First Fruits. It has always reminded me of a bird's feathers. Becky's challenge included white embossing on Soft Stone cardstock, with specific measurements, ribbon and a button. I do feel like the button was a little contrived for me, but it's there nonetheless. Enjoy!
Paper: PTI Enchanted Evening, White, SU Sahara Sand
Ink: Versamark, PTI Enchanted Evening
Stamps: PTI First Fruits, Birds of a Feather, Pond Life
Other: White Filigree embossing powder, PTI Enchanted Evening satin ribbon, button, white thread

    Cheryl, I love this! Great take on the challenge! I didn't even have a chance to make something for it, but I might have to after seeing your card!

    CHERYL! Holy cow I wish you had entered this...it's incredible. I was just looking at that stamp from first fruits the other day and thinking it looked like an owl, but I've never actually inked it up. This is really stunning. High marks to you.

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
