DL.ART Thankful Thursday #170 - Green & Red or Blue & White

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for another Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART. The challenge this week is Green & Red or Blue & White...your choice.

I couldn't decide between green and red or blue and white, so I created one of each. It also gave me the opportunity to use my Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamps/dies :)

I think the papers are from Recollections' Jolly & Bright paper stack, but I'm not positive. I inked the edges of this one with Broken China Distress Ink. This guy was colored with Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Markers and a TH Waterbrush. The glasses, candy cane and Santa hat are from the Crazy Things stamps and die sets. I used glossy accents on the glasses and glitter on the hat. The trees are a Die-Namites Winter Trees die. The snowflakes are Impression Obsession Small Snowflake dies. The gorgeous ribbon is Aruba Blue from Diana's Tropical Summer bundle. The tag and sentiment are from My Craft Spot (no longer in business).

This guy was colored with Fired Brick and Barn Door Distress Markers and a TH Waterbrush. The Santa and reindeer die is from Impression Obsession. This beautiful ribbon is Six Fathoms from Diana's The Mermaid's Tale First Edition.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your green & red or blue & white project!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

Happy Bird-Day

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful last week of October!! Anyone have any fun Halloween parties to attend this weekend? If so, are you dressing up?

I have been in love the with Tim Holtz Crazy Birds since they first came out. I don't know why it took me so long to purchase them. I used the Crazy Birds stamps and dies and the Crazy Things stamps and dies for these cards. I kept the cards pretty CAS for my first attempt at using them. I hope you don't get tired of them because I'm going to use them a lot :) For the backgrounds, I used the TH Splatter Stencil, which was one of the things I won from the TH September 2015 Tags challenge.

For this bird, I used Distress Markers in Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Scattered Straw and Squeezed Lemonade, along with a TH Water Brush. The background was created with the same colors of Distress Ink, plus a touch of Walnut on the edges. Happy is a My Creative Time die and the banner is a Lil' Inker Stitched Banner die. The sentiment is from an old K Andrew Designs stamp set.

This birdie was colored with Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn. I am entering these in the following challenges:

1) Little Scrap Pieces Show It Off Saturday - Anything Goes
2) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great week :)
