Whenever I make a card for Denny, my DH it "always" seems to come together so easily. Forty two years of togetherness probably explains why :-)
This is Denny's b-day card using the beautiful new "Always" stamp set. I love sage shadow and not quite navy together. The ribbon and branches were blue bayou, which goes so well with SS and NQN. The bird was EB and the faux brads (1/4" punch) and berries on the branches were covered with Sakura clear glaze for an EB look without heating. I finally got to use the woven ribbon technique using my double rectangle punch. I used the rounded corner punch for the scalloped edges. I really like all the textures and color combo. A card that is fun to touch. Denny liked it too :-) TFL......
This card also qualifies for notimetostamps scallop edge challenge.....one of my very favorite techniques.

Nancy, it looks like it came together easily--the best ones always do! I also love these colors together. The Wintergreen paper looks wonderful with this bird. Love the scallops and ribbon. Just beautiful!
