Another simple birdsong card

Once again I've used papers from the PM birdsong collection, this time choosing the colours for Sketchy colors 56 inspiration challenge to use blue, brown and white:

It's a very simple card, using one patterned paper for the background and two others for the strip down the right hand side, tearing one of them to add a bit of texture and relief:

It's also for:

Delightful: come fly with me
Sew many challenges 42: anything goes
Our creative corner: branch out - tree and CAS

Birdsong best wishes

This is for One stitch at a time 47 picture inspiration challenge, concentrating on the colours:

And also the colours for There she goes 92 inspiration:

I love a bargain (who doesn't?!), so I was pleased the other day when I got a 12 x 12 pack of PM birdsong papers half price - so I've used a few of them for this simple card:

First Easter card this year

For this card I used the sketch for CPS 203:

I decided to make a very simple card using a clipart picture of some chicks found on Publisher - I added a piece of stitched ribbon, a printed sentiment on BG cupcake surprise paper and three pearls.

I made this for Order of the opus gluei 88: winner, winner, chicken dinner - to use a chicken on a card. It's also for Cupcake 127: old MacDonald had a farm (I'm sure he had some chicks).

The stitched ribbon is for Tuesday throwdown 34: stitching, and the pearls are for Creative Belli 110: jewelry and 2 sisters 25: the world is our oyster.

The colours are for Color Dare 95: daffodil delight, marina mist, basic black.

This is also for:

CHNC challenge 6: use a digi

This card is for challenge 6 on my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge blog. This challenge is being sponsored by Shelly's Images, who will be giving 3 images of choice to the randomly selected winner. Please go over to CHNC for details - I'd love to see your entries.

The idea is to use a digital image and/or papers when making the Christmas card for my challenge 6. I've used 'all wrapped up', one of Shelly's images, coloured with copics.

I used the sketch for Technostamper's Monday lunchtime 159:

The main papers are S.e.i Christmas mint (double sided) and the little red square is Winter song. You can't see it here, but the brown side of Christmas mint has a foiled embossed look.

I'm also linking this for:

Karber Christmas challenge 6: Christmas card with a digi
ABC Christmas: C for clean & simple
Winter wonderland: reach for the stars (on the brown paper)
Fairytale 8: snow and ice
For fun 50: spring or winter - having made a spring card the other day, I really think that winter is going to persist for a long time (although I hope we don't get any more of the white stuff)
