TMS507 Times Two

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I've got a double-header for you today; I saw this sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches, and since I love things in threes, I knew I had to play!  So I made not one, but two cards with the sketch!  Here it is:

SU has outdone themselves with some of the new DSPs this year!  My first card uses some Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP; I cut out a few of the butterflies from the paper to use as the two outer elements of the sketch:  

My Soft Suede frame was made with two Stitched Rectangle Dies, and I used a vellum panel behind it so that some of the beautiful DSP could show through.  Using my Stamparatus, Soft Suede and Versamark inks, and clear embossing powder, I heat-embossed a sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet in the center:

And since I had the leftover Soft Suede panel from my frame sitting on my desk, I used it to create another card, this time a note card, and I used some papers from the Garden Lane series:

I used two coordinating patterns, then diecut two little birds from a scrap of Soft Suede using the Botanical Tags dies.  I flipped one over, mounted them both on Whisper White circles, and stamped another wee little sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet on a third circle:

My final addition was a little Mint Macaron twine bow!  Love these colors and patterns!

I know this is not a very good picture, but on Sunday morning, we were eating breakfast and gazing out on the open field through the patio window, where we often see turkey buzzards or hawks.  I said to John, "I've never seen a turkey buzzard with a white head before!"...and got my binoculars, and of course, it was NOT a turkey buzzard, but a bald eagle!!  We have seen a couple of them over the last few years, but only one other time this close, and he was flying at that time! This one sat in the field for over an hour...I only wish I could have gotten a better shot of him!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
