Hi there! Happy Sunday Funday!
I hope you had a colossal Christmas and that lots of laughter is resounding throughout your house as the kids are enjoying their new toys, or from your craft room as you are enjoying your new toys! As you are mulling your wine and your thoughts about creative ideas, don't forget there will be a brand new NBUS Challenge starting here on Thursday to brrring in the new year!
Today I want to show you the fun I had with a NBUS Serendipity bird die I received in a gorgeous Christmas card from my friend Jeanne. Thank you so much, Jeanne, and thank you for sending it early because I had time to make a lot of Christmas cards with it! It's called a bird die, but it looked like a Christmas dove of peace, love, and joy to me!

Earlier this year, I made several glossy and inky backgrounds by applying Tim Holtz alcohol inks and blending solution to pieces of glossy card stock, a technique I learned from my friend Laurie. I intentionally left some of the background sheets with the inks clearly separated ala a stained glass look and I used one of those to cut out my bird die:
a.jpg)
What I love is that even though you can clearly see I simply laid the die in the upper corner to get the maximum use of the sheet, the coloring "landed" in a perfectly beautiful way on the glossy bird!

~~~
And then, well, naturally, I needed to use up all those jewellike snippity pieces, right? So I turned to the beautiful handmade crocheted circles I purchased last year from my friend Jessi to make a few remnant cards like this:

Next I used a background sheet that I created using marbles. Papa is always telling the twins that Bama is losing her marbles. They used to look at him big-eyed with solemn concern. Now they look at him in that long-suffering way relatives look at one another and they droll, "Papa, you're a fine one to talk about losing marbles!"
The point is ... wait. What was the point? Ha. Ha. The point is, some of my marbles are in the Playhouse inside an old SU clear acrylic box. I add a few drops of various colors of reinkers to the box and then let Hammy slosh it around. Before too long, background papers are created from which I can cut beautiful things, like doves:

I do love these wine and sage Christmasish colors and the grungy design from the marbles. Raise your hand if you are dying to drop some wee dribbles of color onto that white card background to mimic the design on the bird.
I'll be honest, I felt the same way, but unfortunately, I didn't get that vision until after I'd stuck the bird on with release-defying pop-dots and I was too afraid to go off with Willy and Nilly and add splatter with the bird in place. Not to mention, I was also afraid it might end up looking like the bird had done doo-doo on the card, so I just left it alone.

wow!!!! gorgeous cards and just love the colors with the birds!!! soo amazing, the end result is stunning
Darnell, these are great! I love how you were able to achieve such different looks with the same die.
Wow, wow and wow! These are all stunning but the first one is AMAZING! I love the colorful bird and the very CAS layout. Have a fun rest of 2014! :)
Absolutely amazing cards Dippy. Love the way the colours go so perfectly on your serendipity bird (you knew I'd like that phrase didn't you?) But your marble technique has me fascinated..........when I find mine I'll give it a go!!!😜
Hugs.

Wow,absolutely gorgeous cards.Amazing.
Hugs,Urška
These are amazing Darnell, the colors are fabulous and you must have the patience of a saint to have pieced all those snippets!! xx
Such a stunning set of cards Darnell. The bird die is so beautiful and the colours are gorgeous.
I hope you and your family had a good Christmas.
hugs Sue xx
I didn't put my hand up Miss! I love it just as it is and I love all the creative ways you have displayed that gorgeous bird, it really is very dove-like! Love what you did with the left over bits too, what great patience you have! Big hugs, Annie xx
Wow, the first one looks like beautiful tropical species yet to be discovered Darnell. Love how creative you were with all those backgrounds and snippets.
Hugs
Carol x
Darnell all of your cards are stunning and I love the techniques you have used - so clever:)Such a pretty bird die too! Hugs xx
Darnell, these cards are amazing! I adore that bird die! You are rocking with the CAS designs too. Hugs!
Awesome! Just awesome ! I LOVE all that colourful gloss on the dove in your first card. Such effective technique. Second one is so gorgeously CAS ! That crochet makes me feel warm. You have some winners here. :)
Scrummy yummy Darnell..... all fab but the red/green combo is my definite fave!
All three ofthese doves are really pretty Darnell and the alcahol inked shiny card and the way the colours fell so perfectly that the bird looks as though he is a collared dove, then that hand crocheted circle your friend made is gorgeous and the third with the random marble inking is inkspired (see your clever word play is rubbing off on me!), also I hope you had a lovely Christmas. x
Wow! A trio of gorgeous cards Darnell. I love how you used the die with such cool inking techniques. Absolutely elegant CAS designs!
OMG!!! The Doves are beautiful. Love the technique
These are just stunning - love them.
Lynn B x
stunning cards, Darnell! Gorgeous colours on all and simply beautiful designs. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2015 brings you everything you wish for xxx
Wow and double wow Darnell! These are all stunningly beautiful! Clever you!
Hugs
Di xx
Wow gorgeous artsy cards Darnell, love the colours of the inks. Wishing you all the best in 2015! Shirleyxx
What a wonderful gift from your friend. This die is a sweet image and makes a beautiful card. The alcohol inks made a stunning background to use and the wine and sage did make pretty Christmas colors. Especially the wine. You always come up with the best card ideas. Who would have thought to use marbles! Better to use them than lose them.
Omg! Fab cards, Darnell. There's no doo-doo here!
Lovely cards, Darnell. I especially like the first one you shared. I like how you show how the paper looked before you die cut it. What great effects! Thanks for sharing.
Your cards with the bird die are fabulous! Wishing you a wonderful New Year!
Amazing use of that dove die... it creates all sorts of beautifulness, doesn't it? I especially love that lost-your-marbles grungy one.
This bird die is fabulous and I love all the cards you have made with it. The colours in the first one are especially beautiful.
Jean x
Merry Christmas!
I agree, I think of this as the Christmas dove as well.
LOVE what you have done with this die,Darnell! All the cards are gorgeous! I need to try this with many dies! Thanks for inspiring.
Thanks for joining us at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog!
Oh Darnell!! These cards are stunning!! I have never heard of bird droppings.... I mean marble droppings on paper to create a background! I love this look and really need to try it!! Next time I loose one of my marbles I will save them for this technique!
Your die from Serendipity is over the top pretty too!! The stain glass look is so elegant!
(((Hugs)))
Patti
Your birds look real pretty, Darnell. You've created some beautiful cards with one die.
LOVE these pretty cards!! I must try the marbles technique - read about it somewhere before and promptly forgot it. I am writing it down now. (but will I even remember that?) LOL
Happy New Year, Darnell!
I have that die but have never used it in such imaginative ways!! I am definitely going to be CASEing these! I love all of them!
I love all of these cards! That die is simply gorgeous!
Dear Darnell I can't take my eyes away from this wonderful background. :-) A big compliment for playing with small pieces. Just amazing. All the cards. :-)
Have a nice week,
Sonja
That bird die makes for an awesome dove for a Christmas card. And, the sentiment is perfect with it.
Just beautiful cards. I never would have guessed that the first card was a die at first. I though, "Wow - that's some stamping!" Your use of the extra pieces is perfect. Love the cards. Can't wait for your next challenge. I'm all in!!
Fabulously done! Great die and love how you created a stained glass effect on the middle one.
Oh my goodness me, I love those cards!! I neeeeeeed that bird die, that's for sure! Thank you for sharing all the photos - such great inspiration! The link to the bird die didn't work, but I found it anyway :-)

I love the different inky looks you have on your three cards using the same die! Smashing my friend!!
I am in love with your doves and the techniques that you used to create them with! Especially enamoured with the marble technique and the colours you chose! Love.
Wow! These are amazing! They are so creative and artistic! Love them. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment too!
Ohhh these are gorgeous! I was in awe at the first one, and then the snippets piece is just incredible on the mat! (woohoo!thanks for the shout out!) And losing marbles...well, you know I can relate. lol!
Darnell, I am so delighted you happened upon my blog! Thank you for the sweet comment! I am thrilled to be your newest follower and look forward to seeing your future creations! You are truly inspiring.. this set of cards is spectacular! What beautiful ways to showcase that incredible die. I wish you the happiest (and sparkliest) New Year! :o)

Sounds like you had fun with the marbles..I will have to give that a try! I like the look, and I can't resist an excuse to play with marbles!What a fun idea!
That's a gorgeous die and I love what you've done with it. I still have several of my photo paper background sheets. Why haven't I ever thought of die cutting them????? This is why I love visiting the blogs of real crafters!!!
Hooray....another NBUS challenge coming up!! Girlfriend, I have NBUS coming out my ears, as well as other stuff and I AM trying to use it this next year.

Gorgeous cards. Love the different effects. Thanks for sharing and wishing you a very happy New Year.
Every time I see a die cut of this dove, I have to resist the temptation to go right over and order it! The reins of restraint are even tauter after seeing your beautiful creations! Heh, heh, I do have lots of NBUS since Christmas. Not the dove (yet) but lots anyway! Happy New Year, dear friend!
How lovely is this die! You made some beautiful cards with it too!! Aren't stamper friends the best!
What a fantastic collection of cards you made with that gorgeous die. I love that die, and always think of it as a dove of Christmas or peace. Very cool cut out of those pretty patterned papers you made.
OMG, your birds are totally breath taking. The colors are dynamic and very appealing. The die is just fantastic and so are your cards.
Aren't you the creative genius!? I love alcohol inks and am glad to see them in use in your gorgeous cards! Can't wait to see the entries for NBUS Challenge! Way to bring in the new year, Darnell! Hugs to you! Wish you all the best in 2015!
Wow are those the prettiest doves ever! Your idea for coloring is so cool
Hello, Darnell! These are so beautiful! I haven't used my alcohol inks in so long, I forgot all about them until I saw your gorgeous cards. Need to get those out again! Love your new bird die - it does look like a dove! Hoping to be back for your NBUS challenge! Wishing you good health and happiness in 2015!

Wonderful way to feature those fun techniques, they turned out beautifully!
Oh Darnell, how I have missed your blog, your humor and your wonderfully creative cards! I loved everything you did with that one little die! Brilliant! It was a busy month after Hawaii...a big Tour of Homes that had 80 people through my house, food to prepare for them to eat, not to mention a little "favor" to take home (of course I had to "make it"!) I will be able to breathe tomorrow as we have one more big celebration of Christmas with my Italian family tonight...23 of us gathering at my daughter's house...my big batch of baked spaghetti is all made and ready for the oven...everyone contributes something for the meal! then I will be back in the groove and looking forward to spending some time perusing all the blogs I have missed, yours being at the top of my list! Happy New Year friend!!
Hi Dee, just popping by to wish you a belated Happy Christmas and also wishing you a happy and healthy New Year too! fabulous cards here again, such artistry too...how do you keep on doing it?

I just had to pin that beautiful, shiny dove, its spectacular!! Your so clever with your colour experiments, mine never seem to work out so well, so will live vicariously thru you!! And the other cards are stunning, can imagine the sales of this die will sky rocket after everyone seeing these!! Hope you had a wonderful day with the boys and now enjoying your last few days of the year. It certainly has gone fast and has been a wonderful year of crafty fun!! Looking forward to the new NBUS tomorrow!!!
Simply WOW! Darnell - great technique.
Happy New Year

Stunning Darnell, all of them, my fave is the glossy stained glass... but then I take another peek at Jessie's crocheted circle and I'm changing my mind again lol. I remember buying some glossy paper a while back to have another try at this technique and you just reminded me that I had done that, obviously I have too many goodies or too little time, probably a bit of both really. Hope you had the most wonderful Silly Season, Have a happy happy happy New Year!
These are so pretty :) Love the way u did the BG and then die cut, I am so glad to have one of these beauties on me :) thank you sooooooooooooo much, I think I will have to try this out :)
