Blooming with Happiness (FTHS image)

Hello, everyone!  One more progressive challenge card to go this month, and this is it!  I'm cutting it close! Apple Blossom Birds is the free Stamp of the Month for May over at From the Heart Stamps, and it comes with several sentiments (see below). I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils, die cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles, and popped up with foam tape.


I die-cut a frame out of blue polka-dot patterned paper (Forever in Time) using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles and popped it up with foam tape as well. The background was embossed with Cuttlebug Baby's Breath.  To finish off the card, I added four hot-pink pearls (Forever in Time).

    Love these lovely birds with the flower branch and how you have coloured all them!!
    The frame and the rectangle inside with the space around it is a stunning idea, I haven't seen before and looks great! Love the dotty frame (and the stiched frame inside, as you know)!
    The sweet embossing is a perfect background for this cute card!
    Hugs!

    How pretty your cards have been this month, KT! I especially enjoyed your black graduation card, and all the darling critter cards - so cheerful and brightly colored. This one is lovely with the bright blue theme and those sweet little birdies. I hope you are doing well, and that the houses are being shown as summer approaches!

    I am beginning to feel a little better. Still difficult to use my fingers, as my hand-eye coordination is very poor, and the fatigue is exhausting! LOL But I can sit up now for brief periods of time, and enjoy doing some things around the house. I have missed you and your pretty cards very much. love, de
