Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Long and Tall.
Card must Measure:
4" x 8"
Limit Layers:4 layers! I outlined the layers and sponged to give the illusion of more layers!
Limit Embellishments:Ribbon
No Designer Papers:
NONE... I used the Cuttlebug for the background.
Bridgett and Bradley Birdwell were just married! They will be honeymooning in Hicksville, GA and visiting the local barnyard museum, home of the largest haystack. They plan to "borrow" some of the hay to start their first nest!
I stamped the birds twice. Once on the main image (in the middle of the party tent, and once on a scrap. I colored in both images, cut out the scrap and layered it with dimensionals on the main image. The coloring was done with Stampin' Up! markers.
The stamps are from Flourishes. The Birdwells and the tent are from "Love Nest." The sentiment is from "Flourished Words."

Beautiful! I think this is the first time I saw you use mostly white and not a color on color theme, LOOKS FANTASTIC! Great way of adding a layer of dots with inking the embossed paper, LOVE IT!

Very pretty! I always look for your cards and almost missed it because it didn't have your typical layers of the bold bright & black colors. I have to tell you, I LOVE this color combo! You are so talented!!!

Oh Faith, this is LOVELY. I love your signature dots as always, and your colouring as always is an inspiration!! I love the different thicknesses on this (and on all) your cards!

Faith, this is encredibly gorgeous. I love the scene and the story. I also love the fact that you used a lot of white on this card, the dots looks fabulous on the plain white cs. I like the Swiss dots, the sponging of the edges and the coloring. WOW!
OOPS, I forgot that awesome ribbon bow.
