Wow, I never got around to posting this card (it's from last summer, I think) here on my blog and I really would like to share it. :-)
I used a bird cage and its inhabitant from Aviary, and a sentiment from Big Wishes II, both by IBS. Honestly, at this point, I cannot remember where the patterned paper came from. Prima? Webster's Pages? Pink Paislee? You've got me! ETA: my friend Leslie informed me it's Prima Annalee. Thank you, Leslie!
I added some go-to cereal box chipboard stars and a bit of fun iridescent garland to keep the mood festive for this birthday card.
Well, I've been a busy, busy stamper this weekend. I created a collection of 11 wedding-related cards for a local boutique that sells bridal accessories & more. (At 1 - 1.5 hours per card, it has really taken some time!) I approached them about selling my one-of-a-kind creations, and they're giving it a trial run. A total of 20 cards, actually. I've got one more to finish, then photograph, and package everything up. I'll be sure to show them on my blog!
