Card Making Project - A Little Birdie Card
Made by Jacqui


This is one of 3 cards using the Personal Impressions Flower Silhouette stamp set showing how versatile this stamp is. It also uses the Personal Impressions Cottage Garden stamp set with the bird, flowers and fence.

To make this card you will need:

A6 Creased White Card Blank
Piece of Quality White 300gsm Card
Matt Gold Card
Personal Impressions Clear Stamps - Flower Silhouette
Personal Impressions Clear Stamps - Cottage Garden
Acrylic Stamp Block
Versa Colour Ink Cube in Evergreen
Encore Metallic Ink Cube in Honeydew
StazOn Solvent Ink Pad - Black
Tim Holtz Distress Markers in Mustard Seed, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Frayed Burlap, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Pine Needles, Stormy Sky
Just For You Peel Off from Tiny Birthday Peel Off Sheet in Gold
Photo Glue

Place the Cottage Garden scene stamp from the stamp set onto a suitable size acrylic block. On the white quality card stock stamp the image using Stazon.  Using the Tim Holtz distress markers colour the image.  For this card the distress markers are used as straight forward pens as opposed to using as water colours - the markers will still blend without needing a water brush. Leave to dry.

Stamp a border along the bottom of the card blank using the Flower Silhouette stamp set in the Versacolour Evergreen and Encore Metallic Honeydew inks.  

Once coloured image is dry, trim the card so there is a small 5mm border around the edges of the image. Using the stormy sky distress marker ink around the edges of the card.

Cut a piece of matt gold card 1cm bigger than the image card so that when it's mounted there is a 5mm border and mount the image onto matt gold card using photo glue. Adhere the mounted image to the top of the card - leave a gap of about 3mm from the top of the card to the top of the mount - using photo glue.

Add the sentiment to the card, setting it at a jaunty angle.
