Brushed Birds Collage

Good morning crafty friends!
I have certainly been enjoying challenges and I'm jumping right in with a card to share for the Make It Monday challenge at PTI where Stephanie inspired us with her lovely card using different types of papers.  I went searching for my papers and combined a polka dotted page from last year's planner and a corrugated textured panel for the card base.



 I pulled out mulberry paper from my stash, and added a sentiment embossed on a piece cut from a shiny gold envelope. Adding a touch of gold embossing at the top of the panel and gold thread tied the elements together. Making this collage was so fun! I stamped the Brushed Bird in Aqua Mist and Blueberry Sky inks. 




Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

  1. So pretty! I haven't used Mulberry paper in a VERY long time. I might just have to pull some out. I just got the brushed birds set but I'm having a little trouble lining up for the step 2 stamping - yours looks perfect. Great job.

  6. Cindy, this card was meant to be since you had all those papers available. Had forgotten all about mulberry paper but made for perfect leaves. Your pudgy bird looks great perched in the open window. Beautiful card!

  11. Oh, I love playing with paper and I adore your plump little bird! Mulberry paper! One sees vellum used a lot for die cuts, but seldom mulberry paper. I wonder if I have any left. It looks wonderful, Cindy!
