Here's a card my club members made yesterday. Aren't these chicks just the cutest?
The chicks are made with the 2-step bird punch. After I punched out the bird, I re-inserted it into the punch and took off most of the tail. You could achieve the same look using scissors to cut off the tail.
Stamps: Just Believe (plants), Teeny Tiny Wishes (sentiment). Colors: Daffodil Delight, Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, Bashful Blue, Whisper White. Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polks Dots Embossing Folder, Two-step Bird punch, Boho Blossoms punch (wings), Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Daffodil Delight 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. A sponge and More Mustard ink were used on the birds to add dimension.
if you look closely, you'll see that the Perfect Plum frame is raised up. I made the frame by taking a rectangle of Perfect Plum cardstock and cutting away the inside 1/2" in from each side, basically cutting a rectangle out of a rectangle. Easy to do with a sliding blade (not a rotary) trimmer. I then mounted it to the card using dimensionals.
Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
