Feathered Friends

Hello, everyone!  I saw a fun challenge over at Impression Obsession IO Blog and wanted to join in. The theme is Feathered Friends.  I decided to make a little scene with my Impression Obsession dies. Not surprisingly, I had to sneak a kitty onto the card, hehe.  He is watching his feathered friends very closely!

Here's a list of dies used, all from Impression Obsession:

• Sm. Bird Set DIE154-A
• Bird Bath DIE045-F
• Birdhouse Set DIE156-H
• Cat Set DIE083-K
• Grass Border DIE060-I
• Small Grass Border DIE096-D
• Picket Fence DIE206-V

I created the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using a cloud template that's free from Netty's Cards (thank you!).  I sponged Mowed Lawn Distress Ink along the bottom of the sky, behind the picket fence.  I stamped the sentiment from Impression Obsession - Clear Stamp Sets - Sentiments 1 WP16 - in SU Night of Navy.  The birdhouses were cut from Doodlebug Hello Sunshine DP.  

My colour combo was inspired by the challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations:

I used two NBUS items on this card, so I'm also joining Darnell's NBUS challenge. If you haven't heard about this fun challenge, please head over to djkardkreations and read all about it! Darnell has lined up some fabulous sponsors! 

My NBUS items are the Doodlebug 6x6 paper pad and the Bird Bath die set - I used just the birds on this card. I've had both of these NBUS items for over a year.

I would also like to join these two fun challenges, for a total of five challenges entered:

Emerald Faeries Thank You 3/3

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a joyful day!
