Today's Ways to Use It challenge: Make a card using something that hops, skips, leaps, or jumps.
Robins hop all over my yard and other birds, also. So, I added a bird to my card.
Using Tim Holtz Distress Stain and a mister, I made a base for my card. The corner die was added on top of that. The geraniums were colored with Copics.

Love your palette of colors, Brenda, on this lovely card. Not only your bg, but the way in which you have colored the geraniums. The little bird in blue adds the "pop" of color.

Your pretty geraniums caught my eye right off and then to add the little blue bird by the sentiment was a great way to fit the challenge,

I'm always fascinated by how much birds actually do hop. I guess that over short distances, it uses a lot less energy than flying. Lovely Spring colours, Brenda, a great to see when it's turned to real winter cold here.

This is so bright and full of gorgeous colors. What a great idea to use the corner die cut over your pretty bg.... such a great idea that I pinned it to my "great bg ideas" pinterest board. Into my favs.
