Hello everyone! I'm here with a very cute card and using spring
colors! I'm using products from
These 2 stamp sets work together well. And the dies...the Scalloped
Circle Nesting Dies coordinate beautifully with the single Scalloped
Circle Die. Let me show you my process. First, I found my background
paper. This was a panel of splatters on white card stock using Distress
Oxide Inks. I used a rainbow of colors, but this panel is so old I don't
know what the colors were. I chose some card stocks that were a good
match to the colors and used the circle dies to cut graduating layers.
I added some fairly light blue glitter card stock as the middle of the
focal circle. I used a 1 3/4" die from my stash to die cut this with. I
stamped out my images onto white card stock. I wasn't sure how I was
going to cut the bird image - as one piece or separately. But I cut
this little panel in half and concentrated on the birds.
I painted the little birds with Distress Ink. Even though I wasn't
using watercolor paper, the card stock was fine with such little images.
I layered my background using the same card stocks as the focal
circle with the exception of the black. I used a fancy scalloped edged
die for the splattered panel to make it stand out. I also used some
shimmer spray on the splattered panel the layers for the die cut circles.
I backed my sentiment with the same blue glitter card stock and also
die cut a border of hearts with a die from my stash. I cut out each of the
birds, and left a white white margin around them. I popped up the
sentiment on some low loft foam squares. I popped up the birds with
a much higher loft foam tape so they really stand out. I scatted a few
Purple Heart sequins and that finished my card!
