I started out making this for IC219 on Saturday and couldnÂ’t quite get a handle on the layout, but I loved this Bird No. 6 so I used him for my inspiration. Then FS158 came and I did a couple for it, but I also saw this Inspired in Colors Laurie made and loved her layout. I did change the images, colors and added a long sentiment panel on the side but kept her blocks of color w/ the stamping on them. Then today, the TLC260 had a cute little matchbook candy holder and the instructions were easy enough that even I could follow them. So I added the little matchbook to my card and finally finished.
IÂ’m using a couple of new sets from Our Daily Bread designs. After stamping the cardinal a couple of times, I colored them in with Prismacolor pencils and used my Out of the Box Nestie Techniqueon one. On the second one, I cut him and the branch out and added him on top of the base image. A green circle mat was added underneath and I cut 5 ends only of the Spellbinders fancy tags out of dp and added them around the circle.
I cut 4 small rectangles out of 4 colors of c/s, stamped the pine cone branch and sponged around the edges. ItÂ’s attached to a sparkle lime green layer that has the sentiment and another pine cone bough stamped down the right side. A layer of dp, another lime layer and finally a burgundy layer finish it. I used leftover pieces to make my little matching matchbook.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
