Sweet Songbird Birthday
March 31, 2023
Ready for another Festive Friday challenge? What is the Festive Friday challenge? The Festive Friday challenge is a bi-weekly challenge that is inspired by a holiday/festivity. An Inspo list of 10 items is created using the festivity as its inspiration. To play in the challenge you need to use 3 items from the Inspo list on your project and enter it in the Festive Friday gallery. You do not have to use the holiday/festivity in your card but you can. We love seeing what you choose from the Inspo list and what you create.
I chose from the Inspo List bird, birthday sentiment, and Embossing Folder.
I used the chubby bird from the Sweet Songbirds bundle (the bundle price is retiring but the stamp set and punch will be available separately in the new catalog). The cute bird was punched out in Balmy Blue CS. The Mint Macaron gingham is from the Country Gingham 6" x 6" DSP. Are you wondering what is embossed? You need to look closely at the Basic White circle the bird is on, it is embossed using the one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (Online Exclusive). Yes, I was struggling a bit to incorporate 3 items from the Inspo List. The pretty ribbon is the Balmy Blue Variegated ribbon, still a favorite of mine. The DSP that is on the card base and on the middle strip is from the Country Floral Lane 12" x 12" DSP. The little leaves were stamped in Mint Macaron ink and fussy cut out. The little Balmy Blue gems are from the Iridescent Pastel Gems.
Inside a Basic White Scalloped Contour die the same size is hidden behind the Balmy Blue Scalloped Contour die. This is where you can write a little note. The little heart was punched out of Mint Macaron Gingham using the Country Bouquet punch.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to get more inspiration by checking out what the rest of the design team created.
CUTE! I have (almost) all the supplies you used so I'll give this a try.
