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:
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.


***************Challenges for my Vintage Bird Note Card Set:
Craft-Room: things with wings
Crafting form the Heart: anything goes
Through the Purple Haze: make your background
The Cupboard Trilogy: use yellow


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.
