My sweet friend, Smita, and I decided to do a little challenge and we decided to challenge each other to use the wonderful stamp set Free As A Bird. She blew it out of the water by making this gorgeous shaker card! She is so talented! Look at the coloring on those birds!!!
I opted to go for a "fall-ish" look. Isn't it great that even though we chose the same focal image that our cards have such a different look and feel! I colored my birds with the Stamping Blends and then used a little watercolor for the blue background which isn't really showing well in this photo. I cut out my image and the mat using the Stitched Nested Label Dies which you can purchase as a bundle with the Free As A Bird stamp set and save 10% by using this item number. I also used the All Wired Up background stamp and I LOVE it! I'll definitely be using it more and more! My card is a sort of fun fold as you can see more clearly in this photo:
Peeking out from the inside of the card you will see a cute little yellow strip of designer series paper and it is from the Bird Ballad set which is part of the Buy 3 get 1 FREE designer series paper sale!
Hope you have a wonderful Monday and a great start to your week! Smita and I would LOVE for you to join us in our challenge! Please post a photo of your project in the comments! Happy Crafting!
