Today’s card began with the idea of red birds with a blue and white background for a color challenge.

The Pretty Birds Stamp Set has stamps for “two-step” stamping to color the birds. I eliminated the first, “detailed” stamps, and just used the four “coloring” stamps, in Real Red ink, to make the birds look watercolored. After cutting with their Birdhouse Dies, I placed the birds on Dimensionals. Aren’t they pretty?

Red, White & Blue

For their blue background, I used an Eden Die to cut from Sun Prints Designer Paper, which includes the colors of Pacific Point, Starry Sky, and Night Of Navy. This rectangular wreath was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 51/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment is from the Blessings Of Home Stamp Set, which fit the space perfectly. I stamped it in Pacific Point Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used another Eden Die for cutting. Prior to attaching the birds, I glued the framed sentiment in the center of the wreath, “You are a real blessing to everyone around you.”

I was inspired by the Paper Players.
