Mojo Monday 173- Little Bitty Bird

I found myself needing a little inspiration today, so I checked out some of the sketch challenges posted this week.   I ended up making  a card using Mojo Monday Sketch  #173 using Little Bitty Bird.  Here is the sketch:

Here is my card: 


I think these little birds are so sweet and used Pure Poppy and Sweet Blush cardstock, impression plates, some gel pens, stitching, red felt, ribbon and heart-shaped rhinestones to bling up my take on the sketch.  I have several sketch challenge sites bookmarked now, so I should never be at a total loss for inspiration.

Great card Cathy! That little bird is so sweet! I have never put Sweet Blush with Pure Poppy and it's so pretty. I need to give it a try too.

Yayyyyyyyyyyy, Cathy!!! On two counts.....the lovely blog colors and the card! Yours works wonderfully for the challenge. Love the colors, too! I just inked up my set this morning....but not sure when I'll post it. ;-)

Great take on the sketch, Cathy. Every card I've seen with Little Bitty Birds is fabulous. Do you think it's the images or do the stamps possess some magical power? Not that you need any help with your stamping.

This one just justifies my decision even further!

Hi Cathy! I've tried to edit my blog post but it hasn't saved it. The cricut cartridges that I used on my bee bag is Walk In My Garden for the bee and Plantin SchoolBook for the bag. Thanks for all of your sweet comments! :0)
