I have to start getting the name of my stamp sets right! In yesterday's post, I said the sentiment was from Many Merry Messages, but that is incorrect. The sentiment was from the new Teeny Tiny Messages. Hopefully, you'll understand just how I could have gotten that incorrect -- Sorry!
Today's card was designed for a workshop I did last Saturday. I had a ball, met some interesting and funny gals, all related in one manner or another...sort of. You can figure that one out!
I started with a base of Brocade Blue and embossed a piece of Certainly Celery with the new Texturz Plate, Perfect Details. I adhered this to the base card. Next, I diecut the Top Note Die in Whisper White. My current favorite hostess set (Level 1) is Asian Artistry. Using my markers, I used Old Olive for grasses and stems, Pumpkin Pie for the flowers, Brocade Blue for the bird, and Chocolate Chip for the twig and the bird's feet. I stamped the grass and flower image first and then stamped the bird image. I love using these two images together and think they complement one another perfectly.
For the finishing touch, I popped this with dimensionals, added the Brocade Blue ribbon and then added it to the card.
I think this is a clean and simple design, which is exactly what I needed!
I'm still working on designing swaps so I can order additional supplies, but I'm going to quit stressing over this. If I have to ship my supplies (hopefully all cut and stamped!), I'll do it and just put the cards together at convention. I'm not going to be able to make any swaps to just have with me -- but at least I'll be participating in about 6 organized swaps. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with and then I'll have some fab samples to share at my classes!
I've still got some photos to take and share and I'm going to try to get them done this afternoon. Until then, have a great day and God Bless You!
