{enjoy today}


Hi Everyone!  It's my turn to share a card again today over on the Stampavie Design Team blog and I thought I would share this card I created with the new Blossom Birds stamp from Penny Johnson's vintage collection.  It's such a pretty image and it works really well for non-vintage projects, too.

I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink.  Then, I colored it with copic markers.  I used these copic markers: E31, E33, Y35, Y38, YR16, YG17, YG63, YG67, BG70, BG72, BG75, BG000, R11, R14, colorless blender.  After coloring my image, I die cut it with a rectangle nestability die.  I used some patterned papers from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop paper pad.  I stitched my patterned papers, added a sentiment from Catslife Press and some self adhesive pearls that I colored with a copic marker.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Niki
