First of all, I want to shout out a Happy 49th Birthday to my big brother, John.
Love you, John!
I've been saving this gorgeous paper from the DIY pad by Cratepaper.
I love the watercolor look--perfect for a background.
I chose a spot with mainly pinks and yellows and cut it for my background, and then created a simple card with my Bluebells stamp from Serendipity Stamps and a bird die from Momenta.
Well,...I wanted simple, yes, but not blah. And this looked downright blech!
After a bit of musing, I cut my card front in half.
With these two pieces, I created two cards.
For the first one, I framed and cut piece with a bit of blue from my scrap drawer. I die cut another bird from a scrap of brown. The sentiment is from my new stamp/die set from Sizzix, Hot Air Balloon. When stamping the bluebells, I used blue and green markers, and then added a bit more color with a light blue chalk pencil.
I used the same supplies for this second card, using more of my brown paper scrap for the frame. I almost think I like this one best of all. I'm going to enter it in the latest Serendipity Stamps challenge:
Thanks for stopping by!
Let me know what you think!
Such a pretty card and puts me so in the mood for spring to get here with the little blue flowers and the bird. Thanks for playing with the Serendipity Stamps Challenge!
