It was past time to send a hello to a family friend, so I spent some time this morning stamping and coloring. I used one little (retired) bundle . . . Country Birdhouse . . . to create this card, along with that pretty gold foil layer. My cardstock colors are Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow, and Crushed Curry.
Aren't the colors gorgeous? While this product bundle has dies to cut all of the pieces to build the birdhouse, it also includes a stamp (and coordinating die) that gave me the option to color which is exactly what I wanted to do today. Unfortunately, Stampin' Up! has already retired this bundle, but I knew that it was a keeper!
In the center of the flowers, I used Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush on the die-cut bird so he, too, would sparkle.
Above is another close-up of some of the details.
This was such a fun project to work on! I think it also serves to remind us that when there are products that we really enjoy--products that seem to have thought of everything--we must be sure to hold onto them. Below is one more look at the card:
