My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

2 Crafty Critter Crazies with Digi Doodle Love Birds

Hello, sweet blogging friends!
Thanks for stopping by today.


It's time for a new Challenge at Two Crafty Critter Crazies 
where we love to celebrate any project with a critter on it! Critters include mythical creatures, animal toys and everything alive (except humans and flora)! Our very generous sponsor this month is:
Digi Doodle Studios.
My project features this darling Little Love Birds image.
They could not be tweeter, could they?

I especially like the little hearts cascading from the sweet little girl birdie.

Revealing the steps below shows how this image is pretty without much embellishment:

After dry embossing my card and adhering the sweet Little Love Birds image (colored with Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 Color Pencils with Gamsol, Distress Oxides (Broken China, Cracked Pistachio) with water, I stamped the sentiment with Warm Breeze Versafine Clair ink and heat embossed with Clear Detail Powder:



Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame was woven with shiny Really Reasonable Ribbon's double faced satin ribbon in aqua:




Then I added some foliage (Cottage Cutz Greenery 4x4) in turquoise vellum, flowers and a handmade bow.



Such a sweet, texture-laden card which was fun to make start to finish!
Yikes! No glitter! (giggle)

Hope to see your critter entries in the challenge!
