Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a pretty bird print!
WINTERLY TREE TOPS
Although the print doesn’t look Christmasy, I wanted to use these colors and the bird to make a Christmas card! It really is stunning in person with the very non-traditional colors!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Basic White was inked in the background with Peach Pie and Fresh Freesia inks using a Blending Brush.
- One bird from the duo in Winterly Tree Tops and the greenery were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock.
- The bird was colored with Light Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the Die and trimmed down to one bird.
- The greenery was colored with Old Olive, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends and cut with the die. Both were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Greetings of the Season greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Fresh Freesia and cut with the Greetings of the Season Dies (LOVE all the labels!).
- Linen Thread was added to the hole and tied in a bow.
- Some purple Tinsel Gems were added to the background for a little bling.
I really LOVE how this turned out! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
