Vintage Bird Note Card Set

Hello Dreamers!


Special Announcement!!!
Lost Coast Designs is now hosting Challenges!!!!   The theme of the first Challenge is LOVE.  Check out all the details here



A super busy week this week!  The bridal shower is this Sunday.  I still have lots to do, but I thought I would post a pretty vintage card set.  I used stamps from Lost Coast Designs and some backgrounds made with a stencil.

Materials List:

Stamps: 3 Mini Birds from Lost Coast Designs

Ink: black Archival

CS: Cream; Yellow textured and various browns from Bazzill

Spray inks in browns and yellows

Stencil: Mini Damask from Crafters Workshop

Laces and pearls

Card #1

Card #2

Detail Card #2

Instructions:

• Make four cards from the yellow textured CS
• My backgrounds were made by laying a stencil over CS and spraying with inks...and then flipping the stencil over onto another sheet of CS and adding more spray ink.  

Note: more instructions on this background technique here

• Cute the background sheet into smaller pieces
• Stamp the birds with black Archival ink onto the backgrounds

Card #3

Detail #3

• Layer the background pieces with brown CS and add to the card base
• Add various pieces of lace
• Add the pearls

Card #4

Detail #4

• Add a stamped bird to the inside of each card

 The cards can be used for any occasion.  I can always stamp an additional sentiment on the inside too.  Or, I can put the cards in a pretty wrapper and give as a little gift.

Well, I better run.  I have lots to do for the bridal shower---wrap the gifts, wash all the serving bowls, bake two cakes (making 80 cake pops tomorrow).  Yikes!!  I better get moving!!  Hope you have a great day!!  Love ya.
