IM11 Best Birds

It’s time for Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!!  Isn’t this glass bowl gorgeous?  Look at all the detail on here!  The blue birds actually remind me of all the blue jays we see in our back yard!  There must be 6 or more of them back there at any time!  Therefore, I decided to use the Best Birds stamp set for my card.  I haven’t used that set in quite a while.

Here’s what I did:

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
• A 1-1/2 x 5 piece of Naturally Eclectic Designer Paper was cut with a flag end, then added across the front.
• A length of Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon was tied across the front.
• The bird, branch and flowers were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then colored with Stampin’ Blends and cut with the Birds & Blooms Thinlits.  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Best Birds stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink.

OK…make sure to check out what Mary did with this inspiration photo over at Create with Connie and Mary!
