Today’s card developed from a color challenge: Black, White, plus a “bold pop” of color. I began with Zoo Crew Designer Paper in a black & white pattern, 5 5/16″ X 2 1/4″, glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. While I had this designer paper handy, I decorated the envelope flap with another black & white pattern.

“Color Pop” Birds
Next, I cut Basic White Cardstock, 5 5/16″ X 1 1/2″, to adhere to the center of the patterned paper. Prior to gluing, I used a Sending Love stamp with wavy lines, and Memento Black Ink, to stamp three times.
The circular sentiment is from the Sending Love Stamp Set also, which I stamped in Memento Black Ink, and used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting. I was delighted that “a little note to say I miss you” fit perfectly. Then, I stamped leaves, from the Lifetime Of Love Stamp Set, and attached them with Dimensionals, along with the sentiment. This covered the imperfect “seams” of the wavy Lines.
Last, but not least, I stamped three birds, from the Sending Love Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink, and used their Sending Love Die for cutting. After cutting, I colored the birds in three colors of Stampin’ Blends: Poppy Parade, Tahitian Tide, and Parakeet Party. The birds loved being my “bold pop” of color!
I was inspired by The Paper Players.
