French Bird

Photo Details

Poster: Itsapassion

Posting my card for the Inspiration Challenge this weekend. The website is "French Garden House" and the inspiration piece for my card is this awesome antique 1870s "French Bird Faience" plate. Love.

I used my new Fiskars Fuse letterpress system to make this card. (EEEEK!! BD gift from DH. Can you say "spoiled"??!!) I inked up the letterpress plate, ran it through the Fuse and it pressed, stamped, and die cut the card all in one pass.

I added some stamped toile leaves and a few Dimensional Pearls to complete the design.

Minutes from start to finish! Happy Anne!!

Come along and join me in the Inspiration Challenge this weekend!!

TFL!

p.s. There's more to see on my blog! Come visit!

Excellent interpretation of your inspiration piece! I adore this kind of thing - French (or English), shabby, vintage, etc. and know I'm going to get lost looking through today's inspiration website. LOVE this challenge! And love your card!

Your new machine sounds fascinating, and the card is gorgeous. It looks like very elegant cloisonne.
