Free as a Bird Sneak Peek
April 19, 2019
I know I shouldn't tease you like this. It's unfair to put something on my blog that you can't get. I just have to do it. I received this set, Free as a Bird, at OnStage in Charlotte Saturday. I have a few people on my team with birthdays in April and wanted to give them a card using something new. Here is my card with Free as a Bird.
I just didn't want to wait because there are items used on this card that are on the Last Chance list. They go so perfectly I wanted you to have a chance to get them. I KNOW that you are going to want Free as a Bird as soon as possible. When can you get it, you ask? There is a preorder for demonstrators beginning May 2nd. This set might be on the preorder, but we don't know yet. The 2019-2020 Annual Catalog goes live on June 4th. Yes, that is a long time to wait. Get your Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and Sheet Music Background stamp today!
Start with a base of Thick Whisper White that is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4.
Cut the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Stamp with the leaf stamp from Free as a Bird in Soft Suede over the outside edges of the card. Change directions with your stamp and don't be afraid to stamp off the edges. It looks more natural. Glue to the card front.
Stamp with the Sheet Music background stamp, stamp off, on a piece of Whisper White that is 4 x 5 1/4. Tear out a large oval shape. Sponge around the outside of this and a little on the inside. Glue to the card front.
Stamp the birds in a row and 4 of the larger flowers on Soft Suede on Whisper White. Color with Blends. I used Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo, Light and Dark Old Olive, Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light Daffodil Delight, and Light Mango Melody. Since I don't have the dies yet, I fussy cut all of this. I love to fussy cut! Add the birds with dimensionals.
The saying is from the same set. Stamp in Soft Suede and cut it out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. Add with dimensionals. Add a flower to the corner. Part of the flower has glue and the part sticking out has a dimensional. The flowers at the top are one glued and the other on dimensionals.
Add a bow of Linen Thread with a rolled up glue dot.
Here is the inside of my card. I colored the leaves with an Old Olive marker so it would not bleed through to the back. This this the fourth flower I said you would need. Fussy cut and glue on. The saying is from the Free as a Bird stamp set.
