My 1st card using the new a la carte stamp, "Young Vermillion". OMG.....I am going to love this detailed and true to life stamp. Next card I may even color it with the proper Vermillion Flycatcher colors :-)
My stamping girlfriend Jilly came over yesterday and we stamped and played for "3" hours :-) Jilly is very, very artistic just like her folks and 4 sisters. Me...I have to really work at it, but sure have fun!
Jilly made a bird card too and they turned out totally different...so fun! Jilly had the idea of stamping the little leaves from the retired Silhouette Sentiments Hostess set. Cute....don't you think?
I used ALL new In Colors on the sponged background and DSP. Used my new Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon too. It is so pretty and easy to use.
Enjoy and TFL......BTW, this is a 4" x 4" Square card

Beautiful card, love the shading and the ribbon technique, love this bird, he looks like the phebe that built a nest and had three babies under the roof of our front porch. They are such perky little guys and I will have to have this set. TFS

Wonderful card, Nancy! I love the sponged BG you created for the bird! That pool party ruffled ribbon is gorgeous--now I'm kicking myself for not ordering it! I like the added leaves and your coloring of the bird!

How cute! I DON'T agree that you are not artistic. Your gallery is proof of that! I like the way you used the slot punch (I think that is what it is) to mount the ribbon.
