Our Daily Bread Challenge - "The Blues"


Thanks for the fun challenge today!! The challenge was to make a card with lots of blue :)!! And as it is snowing here today and my brother's birthday is coming up ... thought I know just what I want to do for him. You see my brother helps with worship at a church in Denver so this great set from Our Daily Bread called "You will find Refuge" was perfect for him! I had fun teaming up so many wonderful products from Tim Holtz (his great distress inks, the Iron Gate edge die, and the Caged Bird die) to make this card. I did use some of my copics very lightly to color the bird and cut it out and then popped it up. I used a Spellbinder die and stamped it with a music background stamp and inked it up with distress inks to put the bird on. Now if you see the image up close you see a little key chain that says "home sweet home" .... okay a few artistic meanings here - one the bird is not caged just as we are not but can choose to be at home with God and sing to Him - two sometimes we wander away from that friendship with God and then we come back and what a sweet home that is!! Okay a little rambling there - hope you don't mind. The paper is from Bo Bunny the "Mama-Razzi" line.
