I started with this card layout today and had originally intended to use a totally different stamp set. I realized that set wasn't working the way I wanted it to so I pulled my Aviary set out came up with this. I began with a Basic Black 4 1/4" square card that I trimmed about 3/4" short on side. That is where I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler that I punched using the scallop border punch. I then added more Cherry Cobbler to the front with a layer of Fine Print DSP. Next, I took my Very Vanilla card stock and I stamped my bird case in River Rock, then added my Cherry Cobbler bird. I then colored some pearls black with a sharpie and added to to give some texture to the case. I then layered this piece of a piece of Cherry Cobbler and used dimensionals to apply it. To finish it off with a little more texture, I added some Soft Suede ink to a piece of Real Red Satin ribbon to get it closer to the Cherry Cobbler look. I think it works well. And then my greeting is from Tiny Tags and I stamped it on a Mini Vintage Tag. That's it. I hope you all have a great Wednesday!
