I have a thing for birds. I just... like them. BTW, just in case you've never seen it, here's a reference: Put a Bird On It, Portlandia. Cracks me every.single.time.
Anyhoo, I had to have this Aviary set by Pinkfresh Studio, just cuz of the birds. *sheepish shrug* All the flora in the set is a bonus. *chinkle* There's a matching die set for it, but I don't own it so I fussy cut the birdies.
It's kinda rare for me to actually stamp on colored (not white??? *gasp*) card stock, but for this one, it worked out particularly lovely. Bonus? That Twilight Versafine Clair ink is bleed proof so you can watercolor with it. I finally bought the new Pinkfresh Studio Watercolors--they are quite lovely--WOW'd me big time!
HOW TO:
- Stamp assortment of twigs/branches and sentiment onto a pale rose card with Twilight (navy) ink.
- Stamp birds with same Twilight ink onto scrap of watercolor paper.
- Watercolor birds and trim out; 3D mount to card front as shown.
- Punch 1/8" hole into gutter crease of card, thread twine through, wrapping twice around card front and tie into a bow.
*BOOM*
