Wasn't sure what to do when it came to do this card, and this is what I came up with. I thought being the beginning of Spring a nice bright colour would be good. I'd picked out the stamp sets and decided on a colour and off I went, adding little touches here and there.
Start with a base card of Whisper White (cs) measuring 14.8 x 21 cm scored at 10.5cm
Randomly stamp the small flowers from the Petal Palette (ss) in So Saffron ink around the edge of the base card to give some added interest.
Now using a piece of Whisper White (cs) stamp the bird from the Petal Palette (ss) in Smoky Slate, using the light Mango Medley blends add some colour to the birds breast.
The Sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet (ss) and stamped onto So Saffron (cs) in Smoky Slate. Make sure you leave enough space around the stamping to be able to die cut both of these later.
For the first layer use So Saffron (cs) measuring 14.8 x 5.8 cm and emboss using the Petal Pair folder, I used the Tailored Tag punch to create the tail. Use liquid glue to adhere to the base card.
Now the easy part, all the die cutting can be carried out in one pass through the Big Shot
Cut some Silver Foil to fit the heart from the Sunshine Wishes thinlits and the lattice work from the Petals & More thinlits and place them on your big shot plate, along with the leaves in Soft Sea Foam, the bird that was stamped earlier and the single banner from the Bunch of Banners framelits to cut the sentiment. Use a small piece of So Saffron for the small heart from the Support Ribbon framelits, Once all positioned on the plate run through your big shot.
Emboss the small heart using the Subtle folder.
Now place the pieces where you want them on the card and adhere down using a mixture of liquid glue and dimensional tabs.
Add a small bow to the lattice work along the bottom. I used some of the Taffeta ⅜" ® I had in my stash.
Will be back again soon with more cards
