Love Bird

Here is my post at the
Classy Cards 'n Such blog today.
"Pop" on over and leave some love
if you would like.
We have a challenge going on, too,
why not join us??

 Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you today.
Have you seen all the new things Classy Cards 'n Such 
has in the store?
I have started out my New Year with a shopping spree.
Nothing better to cheer you up in this cold weather
then a package full of new paper supplies to play with!


One of the new items I purchased is the Memory Box Hearts Heart Confetti
stencil I have used for my background.
I stenciled using a Mixed Media ColorBox ink called "Peaches".
To apply the ink, the TH Mini Ink Blending Tool came in very handy!
TIP: Lightly apply the ink randomly in some places
and heavier in other places, giving it a more muted/natural look.

I really wanted the background to take somewhat center stage so to speak
so I kept my card elements to a minimum, which brings us to another new
in store product, Memory Box Meadowbird Branch.
This is a fabulous die, and the branch comes with four pieces and the bird two.


I colored the bird with Copics to match the background hearts.

I had also purchased a new Memory Box die called Beloved Hearts.
Though I haven't used it on this card, I did on a previous one, and when cutting
it out, it also cuts all these extra tiny hearts, which I am using one for the bird to hold.
I just love the pop of red on the card!

I added ribbon and a Coral Pearl to my bow.

Thank you for visiting with me today, and I encourage you to give these stencils a try!
