BIRDS & BRANCHES.

 Hi friends!



Playing along with this ALPHABET CHALLENGE
Y is for Yellow Flowers (ends 4/16).

and this COLOR DARE CHALLENGE
Shades of Yellow Plus 1 Color Choice (ends 4/9).

UPDATE!


and this TRIPLE B APRIL 2026 CHALLENGE 
 Yellows Inspiration Board (ends 4/30).

and this COLOURFUL OPTIONS CHALLENGE 
Yellow (ends 4/28).




The star of this show is definitely the embossing folder, and I don’t even know who made it - I bought it in a batch with others. If anyone knows please let me know and I’ll update!

Birds were filled in lightly with various blue and yellow colored pencils. Sentiment was embossed in gold. Large flowers were shaped a bit by hand and tinted with a mini blending brush in the centers outward. Flower centers were some matte gold die cut circle scraps from a previous project (everything gets saved in my crafty zone :o)





SUPPLIES

sentiment stamp - Spellbinders Love Never Fails #STP-051
embossing folder - unknown
colored pencils



Thanks for stopping in today!
