Summer is almost here. Everything is in bloom, and the birds are singing. There are Butterflies in my garden. I love to sit outside in the early morning , soaking up the silence as the sleepy world wakes up. it is so peaceful. It is a great time for reflection, and to feel close to God.
This card reminds me of spring time. I love the little bird getting ready to break into song. The large music notes and little bird are from the TJ Designs set: "Song Birds." I really love this set. I have used it alot. It is very versatile. The small music notes are stamped using an Anna Griffin/All night media stamp. The ribbon and buttons are from my stash. The star is punched from some silver card stock that I have had forever, left over from another project. The star is punched using the small star punch from Stampin" Up!. I placed it on a little circle of newsprint and spritzed it with "Pearl" Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. It gives it just a little sparkle. I added some bits of paper doilie, you know the kind you get in the cake section at Michaels, or Walmart.
It adds a little vintage feel to the project. There is a little hint of tinsel peeking out at the top. and I covered the base of the card with some "Bella Rose" DSP from Stampin' Up!
I hope your Summer Days are sunny! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going great! I have been keeping busy all week, and realized I had'nt posted anything in a while. This is a card I made recently that I thought would work well for a wedding, it is the season for that you know! or even an anniversary. I used *Very Vanilla* CS (SU!) and embossed it using the *Floral Fantasy* embossing envelope and my Cuttlebug. I layered a silver metallic paper panel ( I had it in my stash- sorry I don't know who makes it) followed by another VV panel stamped with the *Bella Blossom* image from Stampin Up! I stamped the image in *Going Gray*. I added a narrow strip of the silver paper, and then glittered the side with Silver Hi Lo Glitter from Stampendous!. I finished the inside by stamping the smaller flower from the *Bella Blossom* set and used my *Big Shot* Top Note die . the sentiment I stamped in *Going Gray* using the *Bellal Blossom* set (SU!) I added the Ivory organza ribbon ( I got it at Michael's in the dollar bin) I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the sides are trimmed in silver and it is a wired ribbon. Makes it easy to tie a nice bow! Well I'm off to finish some projects for my class next Wed. Thanks for looking!
This is a shot of the inside of the card. I think adding a little embellishment to the inside makes the card look finished and more polished.
