Spruced Up - Thinking of You


You know I love our current paper pack "Spruced Up" so I couldn't resist to use it in this months class. Beside the papers we also used the matching stamp set "Spruced Up -Cardmaking" C1816 with pretty little birds and branches.
This set is really versatile since you can use it for Christmas, Winter or Spring themes and it works well for masculine cards too. Here we used two strips of the design paper from the pack and three strips of cardstock (colors sangria, espresso and vanilla). The bird was stamped in espresso on vanilla cardstock and matted on a piece of new England ivy cardstock.
The bird was colored in with some watercolor pencils and for a little sparkle we added a little clear shimmer to its belly. The branch was stamped and fuzzy cut or if you get the set with the matching thin dies you can cut it out with your die-cutting machine.

 For the inside we used a sentiment that I had in my stock for years. I thought it was perfect for this card.
