Many things make us happy and receiving this gorgeous stamp in the mail from my friend, Colleen Dietrich at
Dietrich Designs was a happy day for me. Even better, it was a total surprise. Colleen knows I love birds and wanted to pass it along to me. Plus, she sent one of her gorgeous cards along with it. A big thanks, Col!!! Oh, the name of the stamp by Inkadinkado is Birdsong (love that name).
Today is a new challenge at
CCEE Stampers and it is to make your own designer buttons or brads. That was fun. I used a small flower punch, punched out two flowers for dimension. The top one was run through an embossing folder and covered with Glossy Accents. I added the blue rhinestones.
I added a Marianne Design Creatables Forest Branch and used the Martha Stewart French Scroll punch around the page. The circles are Spellbinders circle and scallop circle nestabilities.
The paper is PTI white cardstock, gray and black scraps. I love the designer paper but have no name on it.
The last two items to mention are the corner rounder and Copics.
Hope you'll make your own buttons or brads and come join us this week at CCEE Stampers.
I'll be entering this card into the Ways to Use It challenge #374 on Splitcoaststampers which is to make a card/project with a bird on it.
