Bless Your Nest

This is the last card that I created for last month's Papertrey Ink release using the Bird Watching stamp set.  It's hard to believe that we are already gearing up for another release.  Just wait until you see the new sets!  Some really cute stuff!


Cosmo Cricket is one of my favorite paper companies and I had to use some Little Girl Biography papers with this image.  It just feels homey and vintagey.  (Is that a word?! *wink*)  I colored the image with copic markers and sponged the edges of all of the patterned papers, cardstocks, and the image with antique linen distress ink.


I used one of label trio dies for my sentiment and just snipped off the end to make it fit where I wanted it on my image.  I finished it off with one of those yummy aqua mist buttons.

We have a birthday party for my niece tomorrow.  I always love a family get together.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Niki
