I love the colors on this card.  My design layout is from SIP Challenge #145.

I like the design of this card, the rose vine with the bird.  It has a very calming effect I believe. The bird makes me think of sitting on my mother-in-law’s front porch watching the birds in the rose bushes.  A very peaceful feeling indeed.

I started with a Tranquil Tide card base.  Cut 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2.  The mat is a panel of Delightful Daisy DSP by Stampin Up.  It is cut 4 x 5.  This is popped on the Tranquil Tide card base. I wrapped a few strands of Linen Thread around the Delightful Daisy DSP.

The art piece with the vine and rose was in a stack of cards I received as a gift when I left my job that was supposedly done away with, only to find it had been given to a board member’s wife.  We’ll save that story for another day.  I colored it using Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, and a Blender Pen. I then fussy cut it, but you know how fussy cuts look there is always a little white border that seems to glare at you.  I used a Blender Pen with Tranquil Tide ink that had been rubbed off until it was faint, then I went over the white edges so they would not glare at me.  I popped this over the linen thread.

The bird was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  I then colored it with Tranquil Tide ink using a Blender Pen.  I colored the beak using a Daffodil Delight Stampin Write Marker.  I fussy cut this also and popped it on the rose which was popped on the panel from the Delighful Daisy DSP.

I cut the decorative piece from a small piece of Whisper White using one of the Thinlits from the Petal Palette Stamp Bundle.  I used liquid glue to adhere it to the panel from the Delightful Daisy DSP.

The inside sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up stamp set that was free during Sale-A-Bration a few years back.  I used it at my friend’s house, so do not remember the name of it, but it was one of those sets you had three steps to make the flowers.

That’s all for today.  Come again and thanks for stopping by.
