Love Birds


It's a gray morning here in my neck of the woods (valley),
perfect for staying indoors, watching the cooking channel, 
and being creative with PTI's latest stamps and dies.

Stephanie Gold's video for MIM this week, 
shows us it's OK to use many different kinds of papers for our cards.


My colorful bg paper is actually a napkin. Bright and bold, with b&w dots, I decided to
bring out all the brights from PTI.
The sentiment die is Enclosed: Heart, cut from glitter paper and Raspberry Fizz
cardstock. 
I have a stash of vintage music papers my daughter gave me, and among them was
one with the words, 'sweet - heart'. 
(I know, you don't luck out with that happening often, right?)
I pink inked the edges before all the gluing.
Next was to take my pink crepe paper, gather it, and heat emboss with 
Stampendous: Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel.


I've seriously crushed over every card I've seen made with the new Brushed Birds set.
These 2 are the small birds stamped with PTI Pinks. 


Speaking of crushing, the Farmer's Market Florals? It's going to be hard not 
to use them for ALL projects! Gorgeous. I stamped the leaves, first with Fine Linen
then with Vintage Jadeite. Made for an interesting color combo.
The sweet ferns are from Make It Market: Wonderland Kit. (Olive Twist ink).

A sprinkling of sequins, because, why not, and my card is ready for 
someone special. Probably the DH. He's a keeper!

I love your napkin background and using the crepe paper was a FABULOUS idea!! I'm loving all the bright colors and the fact that you used my favorite 2 stamp sets with the flowers and birdies! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)

  3. Nancy, it’s always a pleasure to visit your blog and see your artistic talents shine. Forgot to check my stash of napkins as an option but know I haven’t had crepe paper around for years. With the look you got, I’ll have to invest in a roll. The florals and birds are in my cart...hope they don’t sell out beforehand. Very striking card and perfect for DH!

  7. This is stunning, Nancy! I was with a Stamping friend and we did some cardaking with napkins, and I think an iron was involved. Not this beautiful collage! You have a flair for creative color and mixing it up!! Can't wait to try these birds now that I've visited your blog. Blessings!
