The Crafty Secrets member forum challenge on Splitcoaststampers this week featured another card by Jenn Balcer. I've pretty much kept Jenn's layout for this one, just changed the proportions a bit.
I thought a bit of spring cheer might be in order so I picked a quote from Alexander Pope and used it on the large panel (computer generated) and then stamped the feather from Bird Notes to create a background - click through for a larger photo to read the couplet! I took the ink off the base of the bird with a cotton bud (Q-tip for my American visitors!) so that he could perch on a 'blooming spray'.
Supplies: Bird Notes (Crafty Secrets), Silhouette Blooms I (Cornish Heritage Farms), Tim Holtz Distress inks (Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Antique Linen), Clearsnap chalk ink (Warm Green), pink Sakura Souffle pen, gold organza ribbon, copper gel pen, sponge, blue chalk, sewing machine and thread
I hope you're enjoying some good weather, wherever you are today - thanks for stopping by!
