Well I have finally finished my batch of 50 cards that I have been making for a Christian Bookshop…a mammoth effort but I am relieved it is done. Now to package it up and send it off.<\/p>\n

Today I am sharing two of the last couple of cards that I made for the batch…a cute little bird stamp and sentiment stamp that I grabbed for a song off Ebay a while back (I think someone was having a craft room clean out!). I made two different versions of the card as I like to experiment!!<\/p>\n

The patterned paper behind this one was originally green leaves with a white background, but it was too white, so I used Bamboo Verscolor ink\u00a0 and a sponge dauber to ink it up a little.<\/p>\n

I paper pieced the love heart paper from Kaisercraft onto the bird and used glossy accents on the egg and leaves.<\/p>\n

Supplies: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Stamps:<\/strong> Bird on nest stamp – Savvy stamps, Birthday Sentiment – Inkadinkado
\nInk: <\/strong>Versafine Ink (black onyx), Versacolor Ink (Bamboo)
\nCard\/Paper:<\/strong> Regal Craft Card (white square single fold), White cardstock, dotty green cardstock (not sure which brand but I LOVE it – it has embossed dots on it), Kaisercraft Patterned paper – Sugar Cookie (bird), Paper Chic by Cristina Re patterned paper (leaves background)
\nOther Supplies:<\/strong> Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, stubbs, sheer ribbon, foam dimensionals, sponge daubers, glossy accents, black felt pen, Kaisercraft gems<\/p>\n

The layout for my second version was inspired by this little cutie card<\/a> by Kerry over at her blog – A Load of Old Pickle. I really love the simplicity of her cards and because of her I have become a fan of faux stitching as it is easier than getting out my sewing machine!!<\/p>\n

And as you can see, more flowers and bows on the card, thanks to Jennifer McGuire’s great video instruction which can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
