Pretty Bird



The #122 theme challenge for this week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments is to showcase a peacock or bird.  Not having a SU! peacock image I went with the new bird from Betsy's Blossoms.  This card is a no fuss clean and simple card which features several images from Betsy's Blossoms and a few pieces of Comfort Cafe DSP.


I started with a Soft Suede card stock panel which I stamped a few leaves in Soft Suede.  On Very Vanilla I stamped with large circular blossom image with Summer Starfruit and Soft Suede.  I punched out the image using the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  The Summer Starfruit flower is punched with the 1" Circle Punch and the bird was "fussy cut."  For the "for you" greeting I used the Bitty Banners Framelits--so cool.  The mini garland is circles folded in half over a piece of Early Espresso Bakers Twine.
