I made one of these book binding cards last year and decided I'd make another one because they're fun to make. I used pieces of SU! Coastal Cabana cardstock and matching dsp for this one, stenciling the blue skies with some Tumbled Glass ink. The bird and branch were done with a SU! punch and I added a tiny black gemstone for the eye. The ribbon was a generous gift from a thoughtful friend and I just love how it blends with this color scheme. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from Simon Says Stamp matted with some black cardstock to match all the black-matted panels.
I'll share this with the Allsorts Challenge #779 - More than One Fold or A/G
Also sharing with the Triple B May 2024 challenge -
Birds, Blooms, and/or Butterflies. Use 1,2, or all 3
Wishing you all a great day whatever you're doing. Thanks for the visit as always and keep smiling :)
