 | | Ralph is a lover: he loves the outdoors; he loves watching birds in his yard; he loves reading his bible everyday. And the Teapotters would love to help him celebrate his 94th birthday this week.
I can't help thinking about nature without visualizing green and I have a TON of this cs and coordinating dp. This dp is paper, which always challenges me: I crinkle it, I crease it, I tear it. So, this time I glued a piece of it onto green cs first and then die cut the birch. I like the texture the subtle dp adds to this die. Even though I used textured cs, it was blah. So, I whipped out that favorite Weathered ef and it made all the difference. In thinking about which bird to use, I googled State Bird of Ohio. I learned something new today. It's the cardinal (but then you already figured that out). Stamped, colored fussy cut then arranged the bird, foliage and sentiment. I glued two additional pieces of green cs on the back of the panel to pop it up a bit from the base.
Karen (aka k dunbrook) made this gorgeous card last Sunday featuring one of my favorite quotes. So I reprised the quote here typing it in Verdana font. Here's a link to Karen's fabulous card: FS795, Marvelous Nature by k dunbrook at Splitcoaststampers
94! Wow! I can barely manage 70. So, my hope is that Ralph feels acknowledged and celebrated by the many lovely cards and warm birthday wishes he will be receiving this week. And I hope you feel celebrated today too. TFL |
