SOUS Die Cut challenge "Sky"

Yay, it's Friday .. the weekend is nearly here! (I say that a lot, don't I? That's because I love weekends!) But anyway, this Friday is the Die Cut Challenge over at Stuck on U Sketches. Now, I may  not play every time .. but when I learned that the challenge was "sky," I thought about my new Tim Holtz bird and birdcage die. So, I ripped that puppy open and starting creating!  

I decided to combine this project with some gorgeous The Scrap Cake "The Bright Side of Life" papers from Alda at Flying Unicorn. It was a card waiting to happen~

First I cut my birdcage and bird and then glammed it up with a pale blue feather from my stash, as well as some trim, pearls and flowers. I added some Gesso here and there for dimension  .. just love how it looks. I even used some on that tiny butterfly who also "flies, think sky." Since I am mainly a scrapper, I still have to stop and think through smaller scale when I do cards.

This challenge will be ongoing for the next 2 weeks. We hope that you will have time to play. If you don't have time for a layout, then try a card or a tag  .. whatever works for you. We'd love to see what you come with!

As always, thanks for coming by and for the many sweet comments that you leave. Tomorrow I will be posting the Authentique layout that I mentioned last week. We wanted the magazine to be out for about a week before posting on our blogs.

Have a great weekend!
