It's a Delight!

Good morning everyone!  Hope you week is going along smoothly!

Here is a card featuring the Adelaide Stem die from Memory Box, along with the Arin Bird Background die and the Honeycomb die which I used as a stencil for the background.


I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 3.75” x 5”. I die cut the Honeycomb Background and using it as a stencil, I sponged Dried Marigold through the design onto this white piece, then splattered with Forest Moss Distress Ink. I cut two of the Adelaide Stems from green cardstock, covered the tops using a Versamark Marker, and embossed with white embossing powder. The bird was cut from tangerine cardstock and I sponged the edges and part of the body with Dried Marigold to give some dimension. The beak was colored with an orange watercolor pencil and I added a black dot for the eye.



I arranged and attached the Adelaide Stems to the back of the bird, and mounted that with foam tape. I decided to add some sparkly Stickles to the tops of the flowers. A few sequins completed the arrangement, which I then mounted to a green card base with foam tape.


Thanks for stopping by!!

 

I Really Miss You

The card below is a springtime version of the winter card posted previously.  It features the Curbside Mailboxes, Frisky Squirrels and General Store Tags dies from Poppystamps. 

I used the Rectangle Layers again on this card.  I really believe all of the layer dies from Memory Box are must haves!  With so many different sizes, there are lots of ways to configure the layers for unique layouts, which I will be showing in posts to come.

I sponged the background using Shabby Shutters ink through the Mini Dots stencil.  The Leafy Sprig die from Poppystamps was cut using two shades of green card stock. The "letters" were cut from the smallest tag in the General Store Tags set.  It's the perfect size for the mailbox!  I arranged all as shown, and added some Spring Flower Soft at the bottom.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.
