For Day 2, we have one full sized stamp set with matching dies, 2 Petite Moka sets and an A la Carte stamp to introduce. My card features the full sized stamp set Birds of a Feather. This beautiful set of 21 stamps was illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line at TE. The wonderful thing about this set is the style versatility. It can go anywhere from Clean and Simple all the way to Vintage/Shabby Chic and just about everything else in between. The main images in the set are several iron birdcages. Two of them in particular made me think of vintage hot air ballons, so that’s what I have to show you today. I took the image of a perch and turned it upside down to form the basket for each balloon.
The background was sponged with a template I created by die cutting some Eclipse masking tape with the new TE Cloud Border Die. The cages/ballons were stamped and then paper pieced with patterns from the Cosmo Cricket 6×6 Circa 1934 pad. The baskets were stamped and colored with copics. I added some black glaze pen and red rhinestones to the balloons. At the top I added the a piece of white cardstock that was cut with the Cloud Border Die and then embossed with a CB folder and then sponged with some ink.
I needed a Get Well card, so I used It’s a Banner Day 2 and the coordinating die to finish off the inside.
I’ll be back tomorrow -Release Day – with another card featuring this set. But I’ll use the images as birdcages this time!
Let’s see what the Baker’s Dozen has cooked up for more peeks today!
