October Creative Crew Challenge

Today is the 15th and that means it's posting day for the Creative Crew's challenge cards.  

Jeanette is this month's hostess and the challenge is "Something We Love". We are to use our own supplies. I've had a lifelong love of birds, all breeds, all sizes.  Of course I also love to make cards, so combining the two seemed perfect.

This card is made from a kit of supplies sponsored by Honey Bee Stamps. It was part of their class at last month's Crop & Create Delivered, a virtual card making event brought to us by Scrapbook and Cards Today.

All papers, dies and the sentiment stamp set were made exclusively for the event, so they only have "Crop & Create Fall 2023 as a name.

There is some subtle ink blending on the bird, pine cones and some of the branches and leaves.


Here's another view showing some of the dimension:



I haven't put a sentiment on it yet. Once I decide who is receiving it I'll pick out the sentiment


I'm not one who typically makes a card using only die cuts, but I really like this set of dies and paper.  And of course, there's that adorable bird!


Jeanette, this was a particularly good theme. It made me think repeatedly of all the various parts of life that make me happy.  Sometimes, a good reminder of my blessings is just what I need to lift my spirits!
