Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

I love this little love bird stamp by Wee Stamps called Bird Swing.

Papers used for this card are by Stampin' Up and Recollections.  I stamped the birds, branch and little flowers twice with Momento black ink, colored in the base stamped image with Copic gray then colored the second one with grays, pinks, green, brown and grays. cut them out and rolled the emobossing tool over the back to give them some shape, flipped over the original and did the same to the cascading flower and leaves.  They were then attached to the gray colored base with Stampin' Up dimensionals.

All flowers are handmade using punches and die cuts.  Leafy Flourish die is by Die-namics.  I used Platinum Liquid Pearls for the corners and on some of the flower centers.  Love heart charm is from Michael's wedding department.  Sentiment is computer generated then cut out with Nestabilities dies.

Anniversary

Bird Swing Whimsy Stamps (Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet) colored with Copics. I followed a layout by Beate Johns for this card and added my own touch.

This is for my sister's anniversary this year. The two little lovebirds are so cute and she was kind enough to give me our grandpfathers' very old Bird Cage stand some years ago. I don't have real birds in the cage but use them as a decorative element in my home with faux birds inside, the old iron stand is beautifully crafted.

You can see that I have used a Wilton Doily, sheer ribbon and small punched circles for the white flowers. The rose is from Recollections.
