I'm loving playing with the Sale-a-Bration papers at the moment - they are so pretty and I love the shabby distressed effect on the edges of them. When I saw the sketch over at the Paper Players this week I thought it would be perfect for one of the SAB stamp sets called Elementary Elegance...
I took out the 2-step bird punch that I haven't used in ages and punched the bird out with Calypso Coral and the wing in Poppy Parade then stamped both with a motif from Fresh Vintage. The frame behind the bird was stamped in versamark and clear embossed, then sponged with Crumb Cake ink to make the frame pop out a bit. The sentiment was stamped with Soft Suede and punched out with the decorative label punch and added a little bird (from Elementary Elegance) in Crumb Cake ink. I finished things off with a baja breeze bow, pearls and a touch of lace.
Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Elementary Elegance, Fresh Vintage
Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Versamark
Paper: Everyday Enchantment dsp, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon, pearls, clear EP, lace trim, decorative label punch, bird punch
Thanks for stopping by!
