Today, I have a card to share for Muse Card Challenge #161
where we were being inspired by this card by Anita Bowden:
Isn't it cool?
I was really taken with her cool diecut technique here, so that's what inspired my card.
(By the way, please forgive me for the poor lighting. It's been raining here all day.)
I started by diecutting my Pretty Pink Posh stitched rectangle die from white
cardstock and then from that, I diecut my Papertrey Ink Spring Woods branches.
I blended ink onto my stitched rectangle using my blending tool.
I diecut the Spring Woods branches again from another piece of white cardstock
and stamped them with their coordinating stamps.
I diecut the bird (also from Spring Woods), stamped him in Altenew Soft Lilac
and PTI Hawaiian Shores and adhered him to my card.
I stamped my sentiment from PTI's Winter Woods.
I'm also linking this up to Virginia Lu's Link Up Party.
Thanks for looking!
