I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch as the design inspiration for my card. I kept things pretty simple as I was under a short deadline when making the card. A little matting, a few pearls and a bow and the card is complete. One thing that made assembling this card go even quicker is that I try to keep on hand a few images I've colored ahead of time. This was one of those images. Yes, paper selection can be a bit tricky but this time it worked out OK. :) And in case you haven't noticed, just like my flowers, my birds may not be colored "true to life." I call it "artistic license." LOL
I did a little bit of simple interior decorating but left a lot of room for a personal message.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill (pink), Georgia Pacific (white)
Patterned Paper: MME (Lost & Found Two)
Ink: Memento (Paris Dusk)
Stamps: Impression Obsession (Happy Birth Day), Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (Bluebird digital stamp)
Embellishments/Tools: ribbon (Morex Corp.), baker's twine (The Twinery), brads (The Paper Studio), pearls (Stampin' Up), Stampin' Up tag punch, Spellbinders (Circles Small & Large)

The pink gingham is perfect with the flowers and a lovely background for your pretty coloured bird. I always colour my images and stamps and then go and have a nightmare hr trying to match a paper up. Each time I say I will choose the papers first but it never seems to happen. Lol. Hugs Mrs a.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I feel like I'm playing catch up visiting everyone on my blog list so apologies for not leaving a comment on each post you did, Steph. I love both of the birds you colored in blue and the papers you chose for those two cards are terrific! The Cup of Daisies card has a perfect sentiment and lovely dp. Loving the pearls on it. You've been magnificently creative this week. :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and sweet card...and that bow is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteLove your coloring on both the bird and the flowers, Steph! I quit worrying about "true to life" in my colors when my granddaughter (at about age 5) said to me, "I can make the sky red if I want, Nana. They're my crayons!" Ah, the absolute confidence of children. :-D Love the gingham papers and the pearls are just perfect.
