Aviary

I love this set and I love marina mist. Put them together and look what you get. I embossed the background with elegant bouquet. Then I stamped and cut out the bird cages, attaching them with dimensionals. I added a rhinestone to the bottom of each cage and a little piece of marina ribbon to the top with a glue dot. I cut some leaves out of old olive and the little leaves die using my Big Shot. I punched some flowers with the flower from itty bitty shapes punches. I added a pearl to each flower. The words are from petite pairs. Are you using your Big Shot? What are you waiting for???

Simply Adorned

We made these inserts at my class Saturday. Each insert is 1x11/4. Yes, we did use some retired sets. I was trying to cover the months and the seasons. Each insert is double sided in case the charm flips over while it is on. These little guys are addicting. I really feel the need to create more!

Aviary

This is one of my favorite sets in the new catalog. For this one I used Pair Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, and Poppy Parade. I stamped the cages in black Stazon, stamped the birds over the cages, then added some of the Rhinestone bling just to add a little sparkle.Wish Big comes from Word Play. I used markers on the rubber to get the multicolor effect. I love the Daffodil bird standing on the B. I added a pewter Jumbo Eyelet on the side and threaded the Pear Pizzaz ribbon through it. I used the Ticket Corner punch on the layers. I had to start this card over more times than I wish to admit because the black Stazon kept smearing so be careful.
