Good morning! It's been raining here in sunny Southern California, and boy do we need it!
Well, the new release blog blitz is in full swing, and I hope you’re enjoying all of the inspiration so far! My card today features three of the new dies, Adelaide Stem, Airin Bird Background, and Honeycomb 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.
Be sure to leave a comment on this post for a chance to win the lovely and delicate Adelaide Stems! You have until Sunday, April 17th at 11:59 p.m. EST, and winners will be announced on this blog on Monday, April 18th. Good luck, and thanks for stopping by!
