This week we are visiting the colorful and fun Gallery of our newest Featured Stamper Charmaine aka tweedcurtain. So many wonderful cards to choose from and I found the perfect inspiration for me with this happy card: Pretty Bird for Mom by tweedcurtain at Splitcoaststampers
I am working on donation cards for Send Seniors Love (this month's Cards for a Cause mission). I thought her sweet bird and the fun dots in the bg would be a cheery way to say hello to a senior. So, I kept the bird, the dots, and the colors but changed the branch to just the foliage and a sentiment strip.
This bird die cuts all the pieces at one time so I ended up with the parts for three birds. Nothing to explain here -- just stamping and gluing. If I were sending this card from me, I would have popped the panel up a bit because I love that extra dimension. But I wanted to keep it flatter so the organization wouldn't have any trouble with mailing so it's glued directly onto the base.
Congratulations Charmaine. I so enjoyed your wonderful cards. I hope you enjoy all the cards you will inspire this week. And, I hope everyone is having a "tweet" day. TFL.

Luv them all! Background is brilliant and it is so fun to see each bird in a change of colors. I have a die set very similar to this one by Spellbinders. FAVED

Each is fantastic! Love the subtle differences. These delightful "blue" birds with the beautiful circle theme on BG are all perfect. Fabulous case.

Debbie: Such a fun variation of birds in shades of blue. These will be well received and I like the circles in the backgrounds.
An excellent CASE on Charmaine’s pretty bird card.
