This is a Valentine for my Mom. I love this bird. It makes me think of the "bluebird of happiness".
The card is pretty straight foward. The bird was stamped on a cream colored, embossed label diecut. I cut around the bird's beak and put a heart that I punched just under the beak for some dimension. It was then matted with a red embossed label diecut. I colored the bird with pencils and added glitter glue to the centers of the flowers. The DP was cut and embossed with a new Spellbinders die (Scalloped Border Petites) that I won during the Spellbinders Surprise Party, and I love it!
The roses are made of ribbon and I cut off the stems. You can usually find these in the wedding/shower dept. of a craft store. The ribbon band was saved from a box of candy and matches the ribbon roses perfectly.
Thanks for taking a look and I hope it inspired you to stamp your Valentines.
