ICS and Use It



I created this card with the ICS sketch from this week. I love Dawn's sketches because they always give me a challenge. I also used the Use It challenge for this card. The requirements were to be inspired by nature, use polka dots, use our fave embellie and send it to someone special. The paper is from K and Co and it inspired me to use the butterfly punch and handcut a strawberry because they can be seen in the PP. Making embellies from paper is defintely one of my faves because paper is more of an addiction to me than any other supply.



This is a male Yellowthroat Warbler. There is at least one pair nesting in the meadow where we often go birding. They are probably the cutest of the bird couples we see there. But I probably only think that because I love their bright yellow.
