Here's a Birthday Card and gift I made for my friend using my new skills from the
Creative Chemistry 101 class. I filled the purchased birdhouse with potpourri which is where the flower and butterfly came from. The butterfly is attached with glue and the flower is just wedged behind the bird. I added the Littlest Pet Shop bird by tying it on to the perch and it fit just perfect as well as can be removed.
The die-cut bird and cage, on light blue Bazzill cardstock with Sizzix Vagabond, uses the rusted enamel distress ink technique. Distress Stickles gives a little texture and shine to the matt cardstock. The ribbon bow was hand dyed with distress ink from pads and glued on rock candy distressed medallion. A little Perfect Pearl was water misted on bird. A key charm was added with jump rings to the top of the cage. The small Date ticket was stamped on Kraft resist paper and distressed. I found these pre-cut tag-shaped cards with envelopes at Michaels.
Here is a Birthday Card I made for a family member. This is the front and matching envelope. Gears were cut from glitter and metallic cardstock with Sizzix Vagabond with dies from Tim Holtz. Wrinkle Free Distress technique was created with Ranger Distress inkpads. Rubber stamp image "Waiting for Mr. Right 1938" is from Lost Coast Designs.
