This is the first time I've used this particular die set although I've had it for some time but as it incorporates flowers I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to use it here. I cut out the various components from coloured card - the birdhouse was a piece of blue which I'd stamped using a wood grain stamp and the flowers were cut from a piece of white card smooshed with some Pixie powders which gives an interesting sheen. The cream background piece was embossed with a floral embossing folder which I've had for more years than I care to remember. Sentiment was produced on the computer and die cut.
Background - embossing folder from Sheena Douglass (from years back)
Woodgrain Stamp - Stampin' Up (long retired)
Birdhouse and Flowers - dies from Stampin' Up (also retired)
Sentiment - produced using MS Word, die cut with a retired SU die
Love this card Val, using one of my favourite sets, great colours and texture, really pretty, and I think I have the wood grain one too, so thanks for the reminder 😃xxx
ReplyDeleteAnother very pretty die set Val. I particularly love how you stamped the wood grain onto the body of the birdhouse - genius! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Val
ReplyDeleteA really lovely card .. .. with so many beautiful elements.
Loving the effect you achieved with the use of that woodgrain stamp too.
It is good to re-visit old stash isn't it. It makes us fall in love with it all over again.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
A pretty summery card with the birdhouse and pink blooms around it.

Such a pretty card, Val. Great idea to use the wood grain stamp on the birdhouse.
