I just love this Designer Series Paper and stamp set.  It will be available to customers June 4.  It is the magnificent Free As A Bird stamp set and Bird Ballad DSP.  Don’t you just love, love, love it?

The sketch for my card is from the   Case This Sketch Challenge 

And…  Watercooler Wednesday’s Kath’s “All About Occasions” Challenge.      

The birds on this turned out so good.  Don’t you think they look like they are chatting and the one looks like he is crowding in so he can say something?  The card base is Calypso Coral and the mat for the panel of feathers that became the focal panel is Basic Black.

A one-inch strip of Basic Black card stock is also adhered across the bottom of the feather panel.  This is used as a base for all the birds fussy cut from a panel of Bird Ballad DSP.  The birds were arranged in the order you see and then popped on with Glue Dots.  I found it easier to arrange first and then glue so I would not have to be trying to pull a Glue Dot loose. 

Two lengths of Linen Thread are wrapped around the feather panel and tied in a bow.  The greeting from the Free As A Bird stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral in on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and then punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch (retiring June 3).  The greeting is popped over the Linen Thread using Stampin Dimensionals.  Three Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped in several spots on the card front.

The sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a Basic Black mat.  A bird from the fussy cut batch I cut out is adhered in the right corner using Glue Dots.

An envelope flap is covered with the feather panel from the Bird Ballad DSP so you will have a matching envelope for your card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you liked my card and that you can find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.  Have a blessed day!
