Boring post title, huh? Where words fail, perhaps pictures make up for the lack:
The ever-lovely Webster's Pages makes this patterned paper. All I needed to do was add a sentiment, and on another piece of WP paper, stamped the bird and cage from Inspired By Stamping's Aviary to create a little accent.
More gorgeous Webster's Pages paper on the next card. My only contributions to the card: a sentiment from PTI (again), and a sweet little focal point up top.
The bow was made with Mottle Brown seam binding from Hug Snug / The Zipper Stop (100 yards for $9.50...I'm tellin' ya, it's a bargain over there! Be aware that there are so many color choices, it'll make your head spin.), and a bit of twill and crocheted lace. A key from Tim Holtz dangles from the ribbons.
Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a terrific weekend!

ReplyDeleteWell, aren't those pretty! The paper couldn't be more perfect for new home cards, and I love how you added the key to the second card. You remind me that I have some bird cages already die cut and needing to use up. First things first...
