Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Hope your week is progressing well. We’re half way through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.
For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up Free As A Bird Bundle. When you purchase the Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies as a bundle you can save 10%. Who else likes to save money? Here’s my card.
I love layers and when I saw this sketch on Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #317 I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Here is their sketch.
I started by stamping the larger bird image from the Stampin’ Up Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the flowers from the Free As A Bird stamp set around the bird image. I colored the bird and flowers in using my Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 4th from the smallest Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Soft Suede mat, which I had cut out of the 5th Stitched Nested Labels Die, using Snail.
I took a Soft Suede card front and embossed it using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a larger piece of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to a Pool Party mat using Snail then adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller piece of the Bird Ballad DSP to a Petal Pink mat using Snail. I wrapped a piece of the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread around the smaller matted DSP and tied a knot. I adhered a bow made from the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread using a Glue Dot.
I adhered the smaller matted DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 3 Pearl Basic Jewels to the bottom right of the larger matted DSP. I adhered the card front to a Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On the inside I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the top and bottom corner of a Whisper White panel. I colored the flowers and leaves in using my Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Free As A Bird stamp set in the center of the Whisper White panel in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the larger bird image from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the front of the envelope and colored it in using my Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Bird Ballad DSP to the envelope flap.
