Hey there Chickadee

This cute little card was made with a stamp set especially designed for the use of buttons Everyday Button Bits by Papertrey Ink , I just fell in love with the chicks.

I stuck the buttons onto the card using pinflair gel after cutting out the heart shapes with the Nestabilities Dies.

The embossing was done with the Birds and Swirls A2 Cuttlebug folder and the backing paper is by Stampin Up it is the hostess gift.

All tied together with a sheer white ribbon.

Attention to detail...

papertrey Ink have thought of everything with this Everyday Button Bits stamp set even down to the tiny wings. you can see with this picture that I used 2 buttons for each chick although in reality you only need one.

Friends Till the End

I used the Friends Till the End stamp set by Papertrey Ink to make this card, I love the big statement that the big bloom makes.

I masked off the base card to leave a broad strip then stamped the big bloom in black ink across the strip. I then added thin black ribbon to the top and bottom of this strip.

I added the red ribbon to the top of the card(see below for details) then on separate card I stamped the bloom and the leaves coloured in Copic Sketch Markers then cut these out and added to the left corner of the card with foam pads.

Lastly I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the card with black ink.

Attention to detail...

I used a very strong double sided tape across the top of the card then pleated the ribbon making it a little higgle de piggildy so that it didn't look uniform.

Flower coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. A pearl button and a few black diamond stickles were added to make the center pop.

In Bloom

In Bloom stamp set by Papertrey Ink, I love how this has come together.

A bit of sponging, a bit of water colouring and a bit of matting and layering.

Of Course once I'd finished one then I couldn't stop and had to make another.
