Love Birds Always & Forever!

TGIF & welcome! I'm sharing an anniversary card for my dear friend Connie and her hubby who I call my bro-in-law. It's not until August but I recently got the perfect Spellbinders set!

Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card;

DCWV Christmas Corrugated; scraps;

Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain

Dies - Spellbinders Pretty Birds 

Glimmer Plate w/die - Spellbinders All You Need Sentiments

Other - foam tape; white gel pen;

leaves from the bits box (maybe Poppystamps)

I ordered this darling bird set when it was released earlier this month, hoping to get it for a June anniversary. It didn't happen but that's ok. I ended up sending those other friends (I was in their wedding) a previous card; just popped a Happy Anniversary sentiment onto it. When the Pretty Birds arrived this week, I got busy for Connie's August anniversary. 

I die cut all the birdie and perch pieces, plus the flowers & heart from the set. Assembled & then went looking for a suitable background. Patterned paper was too busy. Some solids too boring or too light. Then I happened upon a package of corrugated papers and found a dark green one. Don't the birdies pop on this color and texture? I was going to cut foliage from the same die set but I had a pile of leftover leaves from previous cards. Grabbed those, plus a sentiment strip I'd pressed with a Glimmer plate. 

I love these birdies so much and plan to make a bunch more anniversary cards with them. Since the die set is newly used here, I'll add my card to the June NBUS Challenge #75.

That's it for today, my friends! I'll be watching Craft Roulette in a few hours so will probably have a card from that to share tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!!
