Best Birds

Best Birds

My card is created using the Best Birds stamp set.  I know it is retiring but I think I shall keep it for a while longer.  Today is the day we can do pre-ordering from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  I told someone I needed to start a GoFundMe page to cover all I want from that catalog.  I believe it is the most amazing one I have seen in my 10+ years of having Stampin’ Up Catalogs.  Maybe I will pull all my old catalogs out and line them up and take a look, but I know this one is surely the best looking and the best products inside.   If you would like a catalog, contact me.

My sketch design is from Try Stampin on Tuesday

The colors on this card do not show up very well.  I used the same lighting as always but the colors look washed out to me.  The flowers are Blushing Bride pink but here they look white.  The card base is Soft Sea Foam card stock and the mat, embossed with the Seaside Embossing Folder which is soon to be retired is Blushing Bride card stock.  The flower panel is from the new Bird Ballad DSP (available June 4).  The doily is cut using the Doily Builder Thinlits soon to be retired also.  It is adhered using Liquid Glue in various spots.  The bird, flowers, and branch are from the Best Birds stamp set and is retiring June 4.  It is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and colored using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.  A bow is made using Baker’s Twine and adhered using a Glue Dot.  Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to the center of each flower and three Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped in several spots on the card front.  There is not an inside sentiment as this will be used to write a thank you note.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a blessed day!
