Hey friends - hope you're enjoying your week! Sorry to miss World Card Making Day on Saturday - I was visiting my family and didn't have the energy after I got home. I was excited by the theme of Christmas Birds at CAS Christmas Challenge, though, and made a card for it today.
I was lucky enough to get the Lawn Fawn Season's Tweetings for Simon Say Stamp's Stamptember before it sold out. I already own the Winter Sparrows which I always want to call Season's Tweetings because of the sentiment. When the Stamptember set came out, I knew it would be a fun one to buy and maybe combine with Winter Sparrows. On this card, though, I only used the Stamptember set.
Stamped, die cut and colored all the elements and stuck down on a stitched rectangle. Then disaster struck when I went to stamp my sentiment. MISTI magnets got hung up with the paper between then, creating a long drag mark at the top when I separated the magnets. Hate when that happens!! Everything was stuck permanently so I trimmed carefully around it all and adhered to a new stitched rectangle (sentiment stamped beforehand this time!!). Also did a little ink blending on my stitched panel behind where I planned to place my images & before adhering everything. Done!
I'm also adding this card to Darnell's NBUS Challenge since my birdie set is getting its first play here. Plus adding to a new one for me - Christmas 24 where they're doing Winter Birds.
Thanks to Christine & the team at CAS Christmas and Darnell at NBUS for fun challenges and thanks to you for stopping by!!
