I made this birthday card for a special SCS friend who just happens to love sheep/lambs, tulips and birds. Her birthday is in June and she lives in Alabama. Any guesses on who this soon to be birthday girl is????
I found this adorable image that just happened to have tulips on it too and I added a little birdie in the center of my greeting from another stamp set. I masked the main image to add the sky and ground cover and used a circle mask for the sun.
I used 2-way glue and glitter on the lambs and glittered them all up. I used crystal effects on the flowers and a little on the blue bird. I added a tiny bit of sparkle to the bird's wings and the bird was stamped twice and popped up.
The rest is kind of self-explanatory. I used the birds & swirl ef on the green panels and faux stitching. The large white pearls were received in a RAK from debzi333 - thanks Debz - and the white gel pen for the faux stitching was sent to me in a
RAK from Anne Ryan - thanks Anne!!
Note: This is a 6x6 square card!
Thanks for stopping by to take a look and have a great week.
P.S. There's NO prize for guessing who this goes to. LOL!!
Punchkateer Tally: 5 - top note die cut used x 2; circle punches x 3 ~1 inside the card~; scallop trim border punch used on inside of card; scallop circle punch used on inside of card.
