This card was made mostly with snippets of dsp along with a pre-made die-cut bird I made several years ago and never used. I found an old pack of 12x12 Black Magic cardstock which has pastel colors on one side and solid black on the other. The embossed background and die-cut circles were done with remnants of that cardstock, flipping one piece to the black side to make the scalloped circle. I used Spellbinders dies for the image panel along with a Cuttlebug decorative tiles EF to create the background. The sentiment panel the bird is resting on is a pre-printed one from Simon Says Stamp.

Oh I am loving this card Carol! The snippets of DSP are so pretty together, that bird is fabulous and I love how you perched him right on the sentiment. The scallop circle and regular circle frames him out nicely and I just love that embossing folder! Hugs, Brenda

You have made it again, Carol!! Another wonderful snippets card with a clean design but so impressive! Well done! I have that bird die too, and have never though to emboss the body, such great idea, it looks great! Love the selection of dps with that light pink, and the EF you used on the background. You always use black so well to give an extra interest to your card, I have to remember to follow your footprints :)
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs across the ocean as always!! Have a fabulous day!
Pretty card with great use of your snippets!!

Super way to use up paper strips. I will need to remember this for a few cards as I have tons of paper strips.
ReplyDeleteAs You can see...I'm trying to play catch up. Wow! I have missed so many of your neat cards. You really know how to put a card together! I really like the PINK background!
