Especially For You

Hello there my crafty friends!  I love the Robin Family and just had to share another card with you!  I used a background from my crafty stash that was done with Midnight Blue and Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powders.  I used the Double Pierced Ovals and cut it into an oval background piece.  Using the Sublime Swirl embossing folder, I embossed a piece of white card.  I put a frame around it using the Double Stitched Rectangles and added it with foam over the embossed background.  I glued the pixied background to the centre.  I cut a branch from the Cherry Blossom Frame die set in white and actually glued two together to make it a bit longer (I added a small flower in white to hide the join).  From the Robin Family die set, I cut four of the robins in white and the nest and added them to the scene.  I cut the eggs out of duck egg blue card and glued them into the nest.  Using the Especially For You sentiment, I cut it in white and black, shadowed it then glued it to the top of the oval.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1.4"  in size.  All for now.

  23. A really lovely card. I like the way you’ve left the birds white as a great contrast to the beautiful blue background.

  27. Morning Sue,
    Today's card brings hope for the future as we all look forward to the Spring. Our pair of garden robins are enjoying poking around in the garden containers, that's when they're not chasing the blackbirds. Robins with attitude!
    Beautiful card and I love the contrasting colours.
    Hugs xxx Pauline

  31. Hi Sue. I would have to say that I particularly like Robins too. They are always around you when you are gardening and they always perch in really pretty places. I do like them on Christmas cards too and I think that the card you have posted today could make a really nice Christmas card too.

  33. Hi Sue
    Sweet card with the robin family and the nest. I have a robin
    coming in to the patio more or less every day and he is the
    sweetest little thing with a real red breast.
    Stay safe

  36. Hi Sue, sorry I have missed the last two days, both cards were lovely but today's is gorgeous. I love the Robin family and that your dies have enough detail in them to not even need colouring if you don't have time or just want them to remain white.

    Heather T - belated birthday wishes, I hope you enjoyed your day.

  39. The first words that came to my mind when I saw today's cards were: peace, love and family. You captured all these into this wonderful scene, Sue. Thank you.

    Hugs from Toronto to you all.

  41. This is going to be my spring birthday go to die set. I have a number of friends and family who are really bird lovers (not that everyone shouldn't be) and this set with the cherry blossom branch is lovely. I really like this card using them and when I get through this winter something happy to look forward to playing with. Right now I need to finish up on the Christmas cards and presents which need to be mailed. A sad year but hoping next year we will all have vaccines to protect us and a normal life. That's what I want for Christmas.
    A terrific Tuesday to all of you,

  42. This card is lovely. I really like the background and the sentiment is a favorite of mine. Letting someone know you are thinking of them and sending a card for no reason other than they are on your mind and in your heart is a wonderful reason to send a card.
