Love Birds

Do you hold onto everything until it breaks or disappears? I do! Consequently, here is a card made with discontinued paper and retired builder punches. It also uses a stamp from a retired stamp set. Still, Love never expires, so this card can be sent whenever there are two people being united for love: Valentine's Day, Anniversary, Wedding, etc. 



Stamps:
   I (heart) Hearts

Paper:
   Whisper White A-2, Scraps
   Real Red 2" Square + Scrap
   Stacked with Love DSP 5 1/4 x 4
   Back to Black DSP

Ink:
   Basic Black
   Real Red

Technique:
   Sponging
   Builder Punch

Accessories:
   Sweetheart Punch, Bow Builder Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Crystal Effects, Sponge, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Adhesive

The only stamping is the word "love" from the I (heart) Hearts stamp set. I used Real Red Classic Ink. I think it looks really cute, but it can easily be replaced or deleted. 

The A-2 card base and birds use Whisper White. The wings are adhered using dimensionals, and the birds are sponged with Basic Black. I also used Crystal Effects on the eyes of the birds, but again this is a personal preference and it can be omitted completely. 

The Stacked with Love DSP was used as a background for the card. The Back to Black DSP was used on the bow and attached using a glue dot. I used the Sweetheart punch on Real Red card stock. This is the large red heart behind the bow.

  2. aw, very sweet! I love the contrasting colors for these beuatiful love birds! And yes, I hang on to way too many things! But that's the beauty of this craft - what was 'new' gets old and then when we find it - or quit hoarding it - it's new again, LOL!
