FREE AS A BIRD CASE:

Hello there! This is one of the cards that you'll be able to make at Coffee Break on Saturday, August 24th. It's a CASE from the catalog using the Bird Ballad Suite. I started with a Mint Macaron base and added a layer of Bird Ballad DSP on top.

I then ran one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies through the Big Shot using Soft Suede Cardstock and cut it in half. I adhered the right side down, having it overhang the edge slightly. Next, I stamped the birds with Soft Suede ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and using a larger die to cut it out.

I colored the image with Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay Watercolor Pencils. I stamped the sentiment with Soft Suede ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and adhered it with Dimensionals.

I adhered the large label with Dimensionals, keeping them in the center, and attached the other end of the Soft Suede label. I then punched out 4 sprigs from Vellum Cardstock using the Sprig Punch and tucked them under the label with Glue Dots. I hope you can join me at the end of the month to make one or several of these beautiful cards. Thanks so much for stopping by!

  1. I love the coloring that you did for your bird image Laura. They look beautiful. The sprigs look nice with the background DSP. I always forget that I have that punch and I don't use it nearly enough.
    Thanks for the inspiration Laura.
