A Birdy Birthday

My step mom's birthday is coming up on Oct.28th so I needed to get a card done and in the mail, so I used the current challenges at Freshly Made Sketches and The Paper Players for inspiration.

Freshly Made Sketches has a great sketch from LeAnne and it is a great way to showcase any image! My step mom loves birds and the color red so I decided to use Poppy Parade(retired) for the birds as well as for the DSP(I love this DSP and wish it had made it into the current catalog!).

The challenge at The Paper Players is to incorporate frames and I sure hope what I did counts! I used the Framed Tulips embossing folder to create a frame along the top of the card in Very Vanilla and inked the edges with Soft Suede. The owl and the bird cages sit inside the frame and they are all popped up with dimensionals.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday, and thanks for stopping by!



Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Aviary, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Everyday Enchantment DSP (retired)
Ink: Poppy Parade(retired), Soft Suede
Accessories: Big Shot, Framed Tulips EF, Very Vanilla Ribbon,  Bitty Banner Framelit Dies, sponge, dimensionals
