Have you ever had an idea for a card design and wonder if it’ll work…or if it’ll even look good?!
Well, you know me and my fussy cutting, so I had this idea for the Free as a Bird Stamp Set, and I have to say, I really like how it came out.
It’s definitely a super simple card, but the “wow” is in the fancy cutting on the bottom.
I took a panel of Thick Basic White cardstock.
Using the Stamparatus was key. I first stamped the birds from the Free as a Bird Stamp Set on the front of the card, then opened it up and stamped them again on the inside in Memento Black ink. Using the Stamparatus ensured that I would stamp both birds in the exact same spot on the outside and on the inside.
I then colored the image in using Crumb Cake (branch), Granny Apple Green (leaf), Daffodil Delight (flower), Smoky Slate (birds), Petal Pink and Calypso Coral (birds) Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Then, using my Paper Snips, I fussy cut out the birds on the card front so the birds on the inside show through.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Free as a Bird Stamp Set in Memento Black ink and cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies, as well as wound some Linen Thread underneath.
Thanks for checking out my project today!!!
Today’s card was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
