Like every Monday, I am busy cleaning. I am not sure if I get to stamp today.
Si I thought I share with you a card I made for last week’s sketch challenge on Splitcoast:
My card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Chocolate chip cardstock folded in half.
The horizontal layer is a 1 5/8″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Taken with Teal.
I stamped the branch from Always in Chocolate Chip on it and sponged the edges. I added a scalloped white strip behind it and paper pierced a double row on the left and bottom of the Taken with Teal piece.
For the main image I inked up the bird from Always in Taken with Teal craft ink and rocked the edges with Chocolate Chip craft ink.
Then I heat embossed the image twice and cut it out.
The bird was set on a 2″ x 3″ piece of distressed and paper pierced Certainly Celery Prints Designer paper.
I stamped the bigger flower in Pumpkin Pie craft ink, embossed it and cut it out.
Next I stamped the small flower in Chocolate Chip Craft ink, embossed it, cut it out and layered it on the bigger flower and secured it with a vintage brad.
For the horizontal strip I used my favorite ribbon right now. Stampin’ Up!’s striped Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon.

Amazing card!! I have a question – How did you cut out the spaces between the bird’s legs and the spaces in the flower? I do such a horrible job at that and avoid it but it doesn’t look good then either. Any tips or tricks?

Beate- I love this card! I always love your work, but this has to be my favorite! This is a color combo that I would love to put in my Color Q-so I’ll have to make a card to add as a photo with it!!! Thanks for checking out the Color Q!
This is gorgeous, Beate! You are going to make me buy this set! You enabler!
OMG Beate! I love this one!! That settles it, I need this set =).
Hi Beate, Firstly, i’m really glad to know that Rebecca is getting along and is healing well 🙂
I love the bird on this card, i’ve seen it on so many cards recently and i love it every time! your colours are great together as well.
Also, i hope you don’t mind me asking you why Splitcoast sent me a message to say that they had moved my wsc#34 card to a different gallery? I wanted it to go in wsc34 with everyone else’s 🙁
