Having a bit of a change from making Christmas cards so these birds are flying along to the Playground for the latest Snippets challenge which as usual has a lovely prize for a lucky winner picked at random. I had some snippets of white card suitable for cutting a couple of pierced squares and an even smaller snippet of black card for the birds. I've actually remembered to include a picture of the left overs too. I smooshed some ink onto one of the squares and added a bit of visual texture using a circle stamp. The birds on a gingko branch were then die cut and placed over the detailed area. A simple stamped sentiment and that's it - quick card for the challenge.
Birds - one of a set of dies from Amazon
Squares - dies from Noble Pierced squares Creative Expressions
A very pretty card. Love the circle stamp. The silhouette birds work well with the design too. All in all a fab birthday card.

ReplyDeleteGreat snippets make with the silhouette birds on a branch. The touches of blue make for a great background too.
