Sentimental Birds

Please scroll down, or click here for the Tiffany Doodles blog hop. Thank you!

Hello, hello! Whew! This past week was a whirlwind of blog hops, and I want to thank you for hopping along and leaving your kind comments on my Hero Arts, Sweet Stamp Shop, and Tiffany Doodles posts.

Today I'd like to share a card made with one of Sweet Stamp Shop's newest releases--Sentimental Birds.


I clear embossed the rows of birds and ink distressed them with Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, and Victorian Velvet distress inks to give the appearance of a sunset. I flicked some water on the piece and stamped the sentiment. The piece was mounted on a square cardstock and the card was done. So quick and easy!

From now until Sunday, January 15th, buy one new release and get another stamp set for 40% off. Just use coupon code JAN40 upon checkout.

Also, you have a few more days to apply for a spot on the Sweet Stamp Shop design team. See this post for the requirements on how you can become a Sweet Tooth Gal. The deadline for application is January 17th.

Thanks, always, for stopping by. I hope you're having a great weekend!
