This Global Design Project sketch greeted me this morning:

The little bird from Petal Palette wanted to take part. She is a domestic bird, so she said she’d be happy sitting on a hoop in a cage I could design for her.

You are simply Amazing Birthday Card

This amazing little bird from the Petal Palette Bundle (stamped and die cut) wrote “amazing” on this birthday card. I wish you could see how amazing it is in the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper!

I just love paper words, and I cut the Powder Pink “YOU” from the same die set. “Celebrate” is the third word in the set, and the great news is, that it’s a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. And, not only that, it will carry-over to the annual catalog! YAY! Everyone can order it Jan. 3rd.

I stamped “are simply” from the co-ordinating, Amazing You stamp set.

The black and white stripe “cage” is from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper, and I chose a Powder Pink card base to go with it. One of my favorite outfits when I was a working girl at Nordstrom was this pink, black and white combo. The blazer was a wool, pink and black windowpane pattern, and this project takes me back in time.

The 2″ strip of Whisper White cardstock is embossed with one of the Petal Pair embossing folders, and the “hoop” was cut with two Layering Circles dies.

The Organza Ribbon was the final touch to complete my outfit, I mean sketch.

I feel like my Nordstrom ensemble is complete! Thanks for sharing my memory.
