- 5.75" x 5.75" white square card blank
- glued a 5.75" x 5.75" layer of Creative Expressions' Foundation Card in 'Deep Blue' (such a gorgeous colour!) to cover the whole front of the card
- then trimmed a sheet of designer paper from a Stamps by Me 'Creative Watercolours' paper pack down to 5.5" x 5.5" and glued that onto the blue card front
- lastly the sentiment - for which I used snippets of plain vellum along with Tonic satin mirror card in 'Soft Amethyst'. The pair of dies is by Memory Box, called 'BIG Hugs' of course!
I so love this NBUS paper pad and have had it for simply ages - found it the other day languishing in a basket of snippets .... no doubt feeling like Billy No-Mates!
I'd like to enter this card into:
Allsorts Challenge #844 HERE - under 'Anything Goes'
Darnell's NBUS Challenge # 72 HERE - the paper pack is my NBUS item
Dudley Pupdate: a couple of lovely sunny days here really have made Dudley's week. Courting pigeons are his favourite target in the garden, purely to say 'Hello, I'm Dudley. Can I play your dancing and bowing game too please?'. Of course, they're off like a shot, leaving him wondering what he said wrong!
He scared us on Thursday morning when he misjudged his flying leap onto our bed, via a low footstool placed permanently at the end of the bed as his 'springboard'. He did a perfect backflip back off the bed and landed on a heap on the floor! Thankfully totally unscathed but it was a heart-stopping sight.
Sarn has opened up Challenge #527 in the Snippets Playground HERE .
What a beautiful image Di and gorgeous colours, you found such a perfect matching card to cut the sentiment, lovely to see you at Allsorts, many thanks.
ReplyDeletePigeons fascinate Fleur, so far she just watches, but last week she spotted our resident pheasant close to the house, gave him a run for his money until he took off way across the paddock, she looked totally confused how he did so.

That paper is beautiful Di, you’ve shown it off wonderfully by keeping it simple. Gosh that must have been scary, I hope he doesn’t do any more back flips 😳. Xxx
ReplyDeleteWow that's such a gorgeous background you've chosen and I love that you let it take centre stage with that super sentiment in the corner. Brilliant choices. Gosh, I hope Dudley doesn't try too many acrobatics like that to scare you, best he sticks to trying to befriend the pigeons 🤪
ReplyDeleteSorry - I forgot to thank you for playing along in the Allsorts challenge with this beauty

DeleteIt's so pretty and in my fav colours too. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge. Has Dudley been watching the Olympics?? Glad is he is ok L x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing at Allsorts challenge!
ReplyDeleteDudley must have scared himself, as well as you, with that unintentional backflip. My heart lurched when I read it and I'm so relieved he is okay and scampering after pigeons! Your card is a dazzler, Di! I am seeing more and more designs where gorgeous pp is the star of the show and well it should be! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful dp with that lush inky look with the feather coming through Di, and the added die cut sentiment is lovely and that is a very pretty blue as the base layer...a super card. x
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
