FRIENDSHIP TRUMPS ALL

Happy weekend everyone! As promised, I have a project I made to share with you all today and I am very excited for you to see it! I needed a friend card and I absolutely adore birds so I decided to combine the two and I came up with this! I used the beautiful designer series paper Eastern Elegance, such pretty paper and I think it has a real vintage flair to it that I love!! I made the bird using the Elegant Bird Die and then stamped the body of the bird using the stamp set Papaya Collage - looooove it!! The wing of the bird is embossed using the Pretty in Print embossing folder which I have now come to realize is no longer available as of yesterday (sorry!) I popped my bird up using stampin' dimensionals and then of course I had to add the basic jewels aka bling, it goes without question lol!! I love that it has different sizes in each pack because I like to mix it up - on this card I used three different size jewels!  The sentiment is from the Feel Goods stamp set; there are some wonderful sentiments in this set, a great staple for any stamper to have in their collection. The background the bird sits on is actually cut out using the Top Note Die, still one of my all-time faves.  The ink I stamped with was Smoky Slate, which is gorgeous!! I grab that one a lot!! Another great staple because it is so neutral you can use it with anything! So, here you have it, my very first crafty post in over a year, and it feels sooooo good to be back at it! I hope you like this card and if  you are interested in any of the product shown here (with the exception of the embossing folder (BOO!) they can be purchased in my online store!  I WILL be back tomorrow with another crafty project to share with you!! Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!!
