Hi! This Sweet Tweet (I couldn't help myself! LOL), Centerpiece was made for today's Technique Lover's Challenge!
I saw this pattern and thought, Hmmmm...What in the world am I gonna put in the middle??? I refused to look at any samples, so I was left to my own devices...I found a cut RED pencil and hacked about 3 inches off it to make the PERFECT holder for my Peppermint sandwich!(I had to use Sticky Strip to hold it in place!)
The love birds were stamped in basic black and cut out of Stampin' Up! designer papers. I added Signo pen dots to the bodies. I cut 4 of each bird, and put the two together on the peppermint sandwich!(One set on each side!) The wings are the hearts from Short and Sweet.
The hearts were done by stamping the polka dot heart from Forever in My Heart in Real Red. Then they were FREE hand cut out and outlined with a marker.
