Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
It's a stormy day here in Pittsburgh and we have a tornado watch until 8:00 pm tonight. It's been raining most of the day and we have some sort of storm blowing through the area right now. So, I wanted to get this Blog post in before we have any lightning. Which is supposed to happen with this round of storms.
Now onto my card for today. I made this for a special niece for her birthday. She likes Bluejays so I colored this one with Stampin' Up alcohol markers in shades of blue. I used the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #1085. I was the hostess and I chose Night of Navy, Basic White and Silver for the color trio.

| White, Silver, Night of Navy |
My background designer paper is from the Stampin' Up "feels like frost" collection. The card base is night of navy.
I used the Stampin' Up "Toile Christmas" stamp set for the bird image. I colored him with night of navy Stampin' Blends to make him look like a bluejay. Then I placed him on a branch cut from white glitter paper using a CottageCutz die. Also added die cut white glitter sprigs. Wanted it to have a snowy appearance.
The other side of the designer paper has silver designs, so I cut a frame for my bluejay. Stamped my sentiment and added some enamel dots to complete this card.

Stunning monochrome design, Mary! The blue jay is colored beautifully and I love the berry sprig. The added sparkle makes it glisten. We have the same weather on the opposite side of the state. Be safe! Thanks for sharing with the March Challenge at A Cut Above.
