Birds and Blossoms

It's the first Sunday of the month, that means it's the start of a new theme at Penny Black and More challenge. We're making it super easy for everyone... our theme is "Anything Goes" this month. Just remember to follow our simple guidelines to be entered into the prize drawings, most importantly the focal point of the creation has to be a physical stamp (no digi) and this can be from any company. This month we're having prizes by Penny Black, Crafts U Love and Rare Earth Stamps, meaning lots of prizes to win!! I hope you'll come join us!


For my card today I used a stamp from the set "Enjoy Life" and stamped with the Tonic Stamp Platform, then heat embossed and colored with Zig Clean Color on Bristol Vellum Paper . A circle die was used to cut out a parcial circle. The designer paper is by Stampin Up (retired), sentiment is by Whimsy Stamps (also retired). I used some pink card stock by SU to frame the image panel. The card base is Neenah Linen Textured 80lb card stock. Scallops were done with a punch by Stampin Up. Finished off this simple card with some Burlap Jute Twine.

The little birdies sitting on the Spring blossom branch are so sweet Ellie and the string really adds to the Nature feel.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
