I made this for today's ways to use it challenge - use bling...
I cased one of Cindy Haffner's cards Lavender by cindy_haffner at Splitcoaststampers
- for my colour and layout... I did change it a bit - the bottom black panel goes across the page, where hers doesn't. Changed the ribbon placement.
Main bird image was stamped twice, once in old olive and once in basic black. Cut out the black bird and popped it up over the green image. Used my oval nestability to cut out bird oval and the scalloped oval for the black mat.Stamped "For you" in basic black. I stamped the stems in versamark on the black panel and heat embossed with detail white powder. Used my Martha Stewart scallop punch for the black and white scallops. Added the clear rhinestone brads. Ran the old olive panel through the bug with the divine birds and swirls folder. Stitched around all the edges.
