Divinity Designs LLC April Birthday Bird of the Month

Hi, everyone! I hope you are enjoying the Bird of the Month Club so far.....the design team sure is having a blast creating samples for you!  Check out the Birthday Bird of the Month for April....the canary!!  I love that there are quite a few colors in the canary family.....the samples from the team are amazing!!  Check out all of the details for the Birthday Bird of the Month HERE! 

My first sample was a total blast to make!!  I looked online for color samples of canaries and saw that, just like other bird species, the males were more colorful than the females.  This gave me the idea to create a pair for my card sample.  The canaries were colored with markers and then the green was blended onto the male by using a blending brush and reverse mask which was cut from scratch paper. The background was cut with the Lattice Background Die and popped up with Foam Tape over the Matting Rectangle and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Die set.

My next sample looks florescent in the photo, however, the card base is simply a coral color.  This canary was colored with a Blending Brush, using red and poppy inks.  The designer paper is Artistic Outpost Vagabond Treasures Collection.  The little tag is from the Treat Tag Dies.

Thanks for visiting today!

Blessings,

Divinity Designs LLC April New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Spring has finally sprung!! We have a fun, smaller release for April and we are having a blast using the products so far!  Check out all of the new goodies and beautiful samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram!

For my first sample, I have combined the adorable Sweet Treats Goodie Bag with part of the Blooming Bouquet Die set.  I found some malted milk balls in the Easter section at the grocery and thought they looked like Robin eggs, so I used the beautiful image from the Birthday Bird of the Month - March Stamp/Die Duo set. The gingham paper is from the Polka Dots and Gingham Slimline Paper Pad.

My next sample features the Lily & Frame Dies.  The top layer die was cut from gold foil cardstock (with an adhesive sheet on the back); the bottom layer was cut with white and colored with Blending Brushes.  I know, I know, the designer paper (from Spring Flowers 2 Slimline Paper Pad) has daffodils instead of lilies.....it began as an accident but I decided not to redo it because I like it!!  The sentiment is from Live by Faith and was stamped onto a vellum panel onto the designer paper.

When I first received the Blooming Bouquet Dies set, I noticed that two of the blooms were similar to the orange blossoms in this pattern from the Lemon Love Paper Pad, so I copied the color pattern in my die cut pieces.  For the vase, a piece of white cardstock was embossed with the Flourishes Embossing Folder, cut with the vase die, then light green ink was blended with a blending brush.  The sentiment is from the Thank You Stamp/Die Duos set.

Thanks for visiting today!
