A Bird Holiday Card
A Bird Holiday Card
Hello friends! Today's card is inspired by the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown August Theme Challenge and Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #264
Supplies used:
Stamps: Hero Arts Poinsettia and Birds Wood Mounted Rubber Stamp and Happy Happy Happy from Lawn Fawn
Patterned papers in my stash, including a watercolor piece of paper that I had ink smooshed with several sprays (Technique Junkies' Dragons Blood, Wine Stain, and Harvest Sunset)
Gold embossing powder from Ranger
Dies: Gina K's Master Layout 2 (the smaller stitched flag for the sentiment and the second-largest stitched rectangular die, Happy Happy Happy Lawn Cuts
Sprays: Technique Junkies' Dragons Blood, Wine Stain, and Harvest Sunset
Sparkly gold and thin white washi tape
Foam tape and liquid glue
Honey Bee Stamps gems
To make this card, I die cut the ink smooshed paper and then stamped and heat embossed the Poinsettia and Birds stamp. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments and then cut them out as well. While I was die cutting the word happy, I used the die cut three additional times-once with more of the ink smooshed paper, and twice with some scrap paper. Then I cut the two background paper halves and put them together with the washi tape. I then placed the ink smooshed paper with foam tape and then glued the 4 layers of the happy sentiment towards the lower right part of the ink smooshed paper. I glued the whole thing to a white A2-sized card base. I then added some foam tape behind the stitched flag with the word holidays on it and added it to the corner of the card base. I then added three red gems next to the sentiment and a couple of opal-colored gems next to the word happy.
