Stampin’ Up! Happy HedgeHog and Sweet Songbirds
The card I am sharing today is a combination of two stamp sets, Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs for the art piece and Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds for the greeting and sentiment. I also used Basic Borders Dies to give a decorative edge to the art piece.
Today, I am entering the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge — their theme for this challenge is Any Occasion.
My card has many layers today starting with a Bermuda Bay card stock card base, adding a layer of Basic White card stock, a layer of Early Espresso card stock as a mat for the art piece, and a strip of Bermuda Bay card stock cropped using a die from the Basic Borders Dies.
My art piece is watercolored so there are no dark borders showing, I used Sahara Sand ink, stamping off once leaving only a faint outline when stamped. Barely touching the end of a Water Painter to the ink pads I colored the flowers with Daffodil Delight ink, the tree trunk with Early Espresso ink, and the leaves with a mixture of Old Olive and Granny Apple Green ink. The center of the flowers I colored using a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. The bird is Melon Mambo and Balmy Blue ink.
I colored a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon using a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. The ribbon is wrapped around all layers and tied in a knot giving the appearance of a bow. Jewels are popped around the card front and then the layered pieces are adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink in the upper corner of the art piece.
A panel of Basic White card stock gets a bird from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs stamp set stamped in Sahara Sand ink in the lower corner along with a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set also stamped in Sahara Sand ink.
A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of the Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP adhered to the envelope flap.
