a bird with a song


I was very bad and ordered myself some Verve stamps for my birthday! I love bird stamps so I used this set to make a card for 3 challenges.

The Play Date Cafe #55-bright blue, pale blue, pink, red and burgundy
Basic Grey Challenge #33-Wings
The Midnight Madness Sketch #79

These colors are kind of hard to put together but I love the effect now that I did it! The stamps are Verve which I embossed the birds with ruby red and the saying is embossed with pale pink embossing powder. I ran the blue panel through the Leaf Cuttlebug folder. The Basic Grey paper that I used is the burgundy strip down the middle called Boxer. I added the blue flower brads. My hubby and son are deer hunting this weekend so I will probably get some more crafting done later! Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Your right, those colors are hard to harmonize, but you have done a great job with your card! Love the birds and the paper looks like fabric in the pic. Nicely done.

  8. Hi Julia, such a stunning card - I can imagine how difficult it was putting those colours together - you've pulled it off brilliantly. Cute birds and fabulous sentiment.

    So glad you shared this with us at Basic Grey.
