Bird in a Field of Flowers

Hi Dreamers!
I have a bit a free time this morning and thought you would like to see this cute card I made with a really cool stamp from Magenta called Bird in Flowers.  I used a couple different coloring techniques, some hand sewing, and fussy cutting on this project.  Take a look.

• Cover the stamp with a green and rust ink.  Then Stamp on white CS.
• Distress with Frayed Burlap and Spiced Marmalade ink.
• Ink the stamp with markers and  stamp a second and third image on White CS.  

• Fussy cut the bird from one of the stamped images and the wing from the third.  
• Distress with distress inks (listed above)
• Layer onto the first stamped image.

• To make the ribbon sewn piece: pierce zig zag DP ( from My Mind's Eye) with a piercing tool
• Thread 1/8" ribbon in a large eyed needle
• Sew the ribbon into the holes one color at a time;  tie off the ends
• Tie an extra bow for the corner of the card
• Add a few rhinestones

• Add a fussy cut flower from one of the marker stamped pieces.
• Stamp a pretty sentiment (My Sentiments Exactly)

Isn't this sweet!?  I would like to enter my Bird in a field of flowers in

*****The Magenta Challenge: fussy cutting and sewing

Well, I think I will go and throw in another load of laundry.  My life is so exciting!  LOL  It is too cold to work in the yard today.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a really nice Spring day!  I need a tall shelf for my studio.  I think I will head out tomorrow and look around for something.   I hope your weekend is just lovely! 

 I will be working on something made with Grungeboard for Tuesday.  See you then!!! Love ya.
