This was a card that I made for my Technique Class last month, then I added some bling and used it for my Stamping 411 swap card at Leadership! I used the Faux Silk technique in the background…it looks EXCELLENT with the Nature Walk stamp set!
I started with a base card of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I used white tissue paper, inked up my flower stamp with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers and stamped on it. I finished the Faux Silk technique and placed it over Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I ran that piece thru the Big Shot (both tabs open) with the Framed Tulips Impressions Folder. I added a strip of Botanical Gazette Designer Paper across the bottom, and then ran Sticky Strip across to adhere the ruffled ribbon. I pierced a hole for the Vintage Brad along one side. I stamped the bird with Early Espresso Classic Ink and added some Chocolate Chip Marker around the head and tail. I used my AquaPainter to blend out the colors of brown and added a little Pumpkin Pie to the beak. I cut him out and placed him in front of the flowers with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finally, I stamped Birthday Wishes from Bring on the Cake in Early Espresso in the corner and added No 147 with Cherry Cobbler on the right. Hope you like it!
I wanted to give you a reminder that I have another round of Ribbon Shares almost full, INCLUDING the Seam Binding Ribbon available from the Occasions Mini! It has been VERY popular! Email me quickly to get a spot! You can find out more information about the Ribbon Shares I'm offering HERE!

Sue Scheets says
I love this card. Whenever I see a sample that I really like, I check out the name of the stamper and more often than not it is you. I love your style. As for mine is seems to be caseing you. 🙂
