I have used one of the Layers of Color FREEBIES that are available for a limited time in conjunction with their New Release Party: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
I am so-o-o ready to Party - how about you.!?
I have used the Groovy Bird image and coloured it with chalks, and popped it up on dimensionals on a layered circle and scalloped circle. This was attached to DP that has a strip of white CS that I have used the Fiskar Sunburst Border Punch on, then sponged it and added a bow (oh yes, I am loving the Bow-Easy, it is that easy! LOL) and some nail bling along the length of it.
I have embossed the sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs...I won this set in the 'Three for Thee' challenge and this is the first time I have used it! I love the scriptures and sentiment on this set, I know I will use it a lot! I love to send cards with encouraging scripture and sentiments that come from the heart - this ODBD 'Thinking of you' set certainly makes it easy!
I have finished off with the torn inked corners that I love to use and the nail bling, just to bring that pink in a bit more and a light touch of Kindy Glitz (which for someone that wasn't a blingy' person, I seem to use a lot! LOL) and there you have it! It was a lot of fun colouring in this bird, it just seemed to take on a life of it's own - I didn't have any DP picked and just thought I would see what happened - just as well I found this DCWV DP or I would have been in trouble!!
Thank you for looking and for your comments - you are always so encouraging. You can find me and a Party Invitation for you on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/
While you are there - check out what we found in our garden today - be brave!!!

This color combo is so pretty. Love the sparkles on the dots of the bird. I am so ready to party.

Linda, for all the beautiful colours and wonderful layout, your sentiment is what touches me the most in this beautiful card. You always make me smile, and I can see your heart in this. Beautiful sis. LYMI

Wonderful job with this image Linda. LOVE the bright cheerful colors. Love your border punch with the signature Linda sponging and your ribbon came out perfect. I have a bow easy and still haven't figured out how to use it even with tutorials. I'm a slow learner I guess. You did an awesome job here!! TFS!
