We have been blessed with the most glorious of days today! It's sunny and clear, and not too hot, with a nice breeze as a bonus! I think it's 84 degrees, but the breeze makes it so nice!
Have you ever had one of 'those' stamps? You know - the ones that you reach for over and over again? Well, this stamp today is one of 'those' stamps! It works up so beatifully, with so little effort!
I made this card per the Our Creative Corner challenge sketch for this week.
I stamped the birds on white CS. I then stamped it again on DP. I cut out just the parts I wanted, and pieced them onto the birds bodies. I did just a wee bit of coloring on the tree/leaves, punched the image out, distressed around the edge, and added some flat pearls for bling. You know me and my bling...sigh - just have to have it! The ribbons are actually an old retired TAC image that I stamped onto the DP and cut out - don't they look real???
The image is Inkadinkado, the DP is TAC, and the Ink is Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise. Hope you enjoy it!
DH is taking me into the city! Heart be still! We are going to not only Michael's where I have a 50% off coupon (one reg. price item) but to Hobby Lobby as well (only 25% there...). I still have some money left at HL from a gift card I received for my retirement, so all in all, I shouldn't have to be TOO bad today!
Hope you enjoy your day, and your weekend! I'm giving myself a bit of a break from the challenges I've been doing, and am trying a few others this weekend.
Blessings!
