It’s Your Special Day

Published by Shel9999 at 5:17 pm under Inkadinkado, My Designs

This is one of my favorite of the new images from Inkadinkado, “Mod Bird.” I just love him!

He’s paired here with some Imaginisce fall paper…not really looking too “mod” with warm/fall prints and colors, but he’s still cute!

I stamped him on a square of vanilla cardstock and watercolored with More Mustard and a bit of Bravo Burgundy. I outlined him a bit with Barely Banana and matted the piece onto burgundy cardstock.

After adhering the mustard-colored print to the card base, I added the block of flower paper and zig-zagged across the top and bottom, finishing off with the sentiment and some burgundy grosgrain with hemp.

Maybe if I keep making fall-ish cards, I can wish that cooler weather here!

Thanks for stopping by!
