Sweet Little Birds

This watercolor paper die-cut grouping of birds from Concord and 9th was sent to me by my sweet friend Barb. 



I have been watching a lot of the Olympics and haven't created in quite a while, so I needed to get my feet wet with something easy.  A few zig watercolor pens, an arch shape from a pile of die cuts that didn't work out and a fun embossing folder all came together for this card.  It'll be sent to my Dad, along with a few puzzles.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Very fun! The dry embossing with the "spotlight" is a great design.

Love this, Cat! Barb sent me that die cut, too & you've inspired me to use it! I "need" that embossing folder, too! Enjoy the rest of your weekend--48 hr Scramble in case you forgot like me!

Oh my gosh, Cat...this is really gorgeous! I love how you colored the birds with your Zig markers...beautiful blending, and how you added texture with your EF! I knew you would make these sweet birds shine, and I'll bet it looks amazing in person!
