Recently I participated in the Control Freak's Holiday Mini catalog swap. As always, the swap cards were amazing! I feel so honored to be part of such a great group of stampers. The stamp set I chose to use for the swap is "Love Owl-ways."
The inpsiration for this card came from a sketch challenge on SUDSOL.
Originally this sketch was designed for a scrapbook page, but I adapted it into a card layout. I stuck with the layout and even stamped the horizontal layer with polka dots. I stamped the little birds in Basic Gray and colored them in with markers. They looked like they were floating in space, so I took my Bashful Blue marker and drew a couple of lines under each bird to give them a shadow. It helped ground them a little better.
I punched scallops down the left edge of the Real Red cardstock and pierced holes in each scallop. I also used my paper piercer to pierce the holes for the three silver brads.
I've been stamping a lot lately with Fall colors, so the red and pink were a nice change. Even though I made this card a couple of weeks ago, it goes nicely with the color challenge Kirstina issued last week--reds and pinks!
I'm off and running trying to finish things up for Halloween tomorrow. As always, thanks for stopping by! ~Dannie
