Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion
Hello my crafty friends~
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I have a pretty card to share that I created for some of the challenges going on right now. It was a bit to hot this weekend so I decided to escaped the heat and play in my craft room some :)
I had picked up this new Die Version Birdhouse Branch Die and thought I would use it for my main focal point on my card. It's funny, because what I had envisioned in my head came out totally different when I was finished?! Anyone else have that happen? Overall, I am happy with the end result. I definitely need a little practice with the TH splatter brush, lol!

I used beautiful Country Roads papers from The Paper Studio that my friend Lisa sent me. I love this assortment...so pretty! Thanks so much Lisa!
I distressed the papers with the DIA and also added a layer of cheesecloth between the layers for some texture. I heat embossed the sentiment from My Creative Time's~A Thankful Heart onto a Ribbon End Banner Die.
I used Die Version Birdhouse Branch Die and cut a few layers and then one out of foam for dimension. The added Sparkling Ice Glitter to the house and the adorable birdie is heat embossed with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel.
In the right corner is the Bunch of Stitched Doily Die. The butterflies are the Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly Dies also sprinkled with Sparkling Ice Glitter. The gorgeous ribbon is the Blues Bundle from DL.ART, the twine from My Craft Spot (no longer in business) and the flowers are from Recollection. The teeny little button in the center is Die Versions Buttons Galore die which is embossed with shabby white enamel embossing powder. I finished with splatters of white acrylic paint applied with the TH splatter brush.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.) Scrapy Land Challenge #46 Emboss it PLUS brand of die Scrapy Land sells ( Die Version dies)
3.) DL.ART July Linky Challenge~Anything Goes
4.) DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge~Summer Foods or can substitute for Thank you
5.) Little Scrap Pieces Show it Off Saturday

I love the ribbon and flowers and butterflies and sparkle!! What a gorgeous card this is!! Thank you so much for playing along at Scrapy Land and DL.ART!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your power is back on. It's hard when it's in the middle of a scorching summer. We were lucky in that when ours was out for over 14 hours a couple of weeks ago, the temps cooled off so it wasn't bad without the air. We have severe thunderstorm watches out for tonight so I'm praying that the power stays on :) I'm so ready for a trip to the beach!! Hopefully I'll get there at the end of September :) I hope those three precious girls are having a wonderful summer!! It's been too long since I've seen pictures of them (hint, hint ;) Have a wonderful evening my sweet friend!! Big hugs :)

ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous piece of shabby deliciousness Sherrie!! WOW!! I am loving the wood panel background.

ReplyDeleteIt's been so hot here too, and still no real rain either. I hope you at least have some air conditioning?? We are lucky with that, it's at least nice and cool in the house. I find myself hiding in my craft room, sorting and playing but still accomplishing nothing. HAHA!! sending lots of hugs :)
