Today while shoppng in a gift shop, I saw a tray that had these elements: birds on a branch and aqua and neutral colorblocks. I couldn't wait to get home and try and reproduce it.I started with aqua cardstock stamped lightly with Antique Flowers background and some distressed music paper. Next I used a die-cut label that Carol at home just sent me; I love it because it has that faux stitching right on it - anyone know who makes this, 'cause I want it now! I lightly stamped Old Letter Writing on it first, then overstamped the rose spray. After adding the sentiment, the label was distressed and then popped above the card. Lastly I added the birds, which are also popped up.
Supplies: S5264 Antique Flower Background, S4878 Old Letter Writing, CG152 Two Birds, CL129 Anytime Messages , Prismacolor pencils
Lovely! I like the feeling of this card! A good reminder to find joy in little things like flowers or birds...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Lin, love the writing and the rose is so pretty in yellow. I think the die is the top notch die from stampin-up.
