Shake, Rattle and Roll to the Blues

I love Sundays.  Went for a nice stroll this morning, did some chores and the rest of the afternoon was devoted to good music and card making.  I tried two new techniques today!

I made a lattice card for this challenge. Arranging those strips reminded me of making pie...mmmm, pie.  But I digress. The cherry blossoms are also from ADFD.  I colored the cute little blue bird with my Prismacolor markers; When I think of blue birds, I think of spring at the countryside.  I went for a shabby chic vibe.

Care Bears are trademark of American Greetings, created by Elena Kucharik
Flashback alert!!!  We are time traveling back to the 80s :)  Remember the Care Bears?  This is one of their starry friends.  Image is from one of my old coloring books that I scanned and resized. For this week's Dilly Beans challenge, I decided to keep it clean and simple.  The new technique on this one: SHAKER CARD!  The little star's balloon is filled with pink glass beads that you can shake around :)
Take a Word - Angelic/Angel
Precious Moments by Sam Butcher
Last but not least, this is a tag I made for Take a Word.  I've been on a Precious Moments kick recently :)  I had scrap and buttons from my bluebird card that I used up.  I just adore the little turtle!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Have a great week,
Mary xoxo

    Your blue bird is lovely, popping the bird and the wing - what a great idea to add some dimension and interest.

    Busy bee, love your cards and tag. The lattice is a nice field for that pretty blue bird and I love the shaker heart balloon element on your second card. Terrific projects! Hugs, Kathy
