| Here's MY card! You have two weeks to come and play with us! Post your creation by August 12th! |
My bird die cuts are from PTI's Take Flight. On a silver cord, I strung some OLD CTMH rose beads and a PTI tiny tag with "Wish" on it. This is a Birthday card for my friend Lauren.
The PTI Mat Stack 4 is impressed with my PTI Giga Guidelines 1 impression plate. I stamped the sentiment on vellum which was added to the top of the mat. IRL you can see the impression through the vellum. The background with the swirly lavendar vine is actually self-adhesive vellum from Colorbok.
I cut a doily in half to add some color on either side of the mat. The birds and the mat are outlined with a Copic marker.
I finished the card offf with some straight stitching, a flower from Prima, a heart border edge, and ribbon from American Crafts.
I hope you like it! Let me know!

This next card is the same design but different colors because it's for a loyal follower and player of CR84FN and it's her Birthday so this is the card I made for Dear Sweet Stella! She loves blue! She lives in the Netherlands so I'm posting it here so she will see it before it actually arrives! Talk about instant gratification! Happy Birthday Stella!

Your card is so pretty Sue! Love the subtle texture on the label and the sweet little birds! So clever how you strung that little heart tag! The blue version looks fab! Love the pop of pink and I sure Stella will too! :)
Your birthday cards are just gorgeous. I love the subtle design on the backing, with the sweet tag between the birds, the sweet flower and lovely lace! Wonderful. I'm sure that both Lauren & Stella will love their cards.
Two beautiful cards Sue, I love the tiny birds and the little heart label! I love these colours, and I'm sure Stella will be delighted with your card, it's beautiful.
