Hello Ai fans!
We hope you all enjoyed our It's Raining Cats & Dogs challenge.
With that challenge ending, it means it's time to debut a new challenge.
For the next two weeks our challenge is called
Birds of a Feather.
We want to see your crafty projects using birds.
Your projects can include bird stamps, dies, papers etc.
Before we share our Featured Artist Lynn's lovely project, let's see
who won our last challenge.
We had so many wonderful cards entered and it was tough to
choose a winner.
For our Top Spot, we selected
#3 Zilla S.
We loved her creative milk jug with the very contented
cat napping beside it.
Our Lucky Random Winner was:
#13 Gennette H.

Today's feature card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge called "Birds of a Feather" which is to incorporate a bird or birds on your card or project!
I thought it would be fun to create a scene where the Ai Floral Truck Set (5511) would look like a little pop-up floral shop. So, let's begin by stamping the images from this set, as well as a few birds from the Ai Birds and Bugs Set (5561), and a pretty topiary from the Ai Front Porch Garden Set (5486). All of the coloring today will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Lt Pink, Peach Pink, Lilac, Lt Violet, Deep Red Grape, Deep Vermillion, Deep Red, Lt Gray, Gray, Cool Gray 6, Beige, Mid Brown, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Persian Green, Blue Gray, Dk Agate, Lt Green, Green.
To ground the scene, we will be stamping a pretty brick walk. Once the brick walk is stamped and colored, we can add a pretty sky by ink blending some orange and yellow inks!
Next, we can assemble the card, popping up some of the items for added interest and dimension. Don't forget to add those adorable little birds and bees! To layer up the card we will use some pretty polka dot paper from the Ai Easter S2 Paper Pack (5892).
We can also add some baker's twine and tie a bow at the top of the card! And as you probably already know, I have been trying to complete my cards by adding a sentiment and an interesting element to the inside of the card. For this card, I added a sentiment from the Ai Mrs. Set (5405) which says, "Wishing you every Bloomin' Thing!" and another cute flowerpot as well as a little bee!
Please check out the entire Front Porch Series for lots of little elements that can be incorporated into your scene cards and also the Rides Series which includes this floral truck as well as a Birthday Buggy, Christmas Truck, Spooky Wagon and some sweet add-ons!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!
