Hello everyone! Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday, so far. I thought I would post my completed swap cards today, since I have been under the weather since yesterday and haven't been getting much done in the creative department. Blah! :(
About a month ago, I entered my first online swap. It was to use ONLY new release sets in the SU! catalog. After everyone was signed up with their stamp sets, the magic number to create was 30 cards. Why would I want to sign up for one of those 6 card swaps when I could tackle 30? (*read with semi-sarcastic undertone*)
My chosen stamp set was Aviary and let me tell you, I broke that set in pretty well with this project! 30 cards for the swap, plus a couple more for me. With this many birds, I was close to starring in a remake of an Alfred Hitchcock movie! Eeek!
This whole endeavor took over 2 1/2 days to accomplish, but it was a fun little project. I can't wait to see what everyone else has created when the cards are returned next week. I will post some pictures!
Here is a close-up of my finished project:
Stamps: Aviary, Picture This (retired)
Ink: Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Delight, Concord Crush classic ink
Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Concord Crush, Whisper White cardstock
Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Corner Rounder punch, Scallop Trim Border punch, Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Two-Step XL Bird punch (leaves), Pear Pizzazz ½” Stitched Poly Ribbon, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight markers (sentiment), jewels
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by,
Hello,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! TFS
Very elegant cards. I really like bird cages.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT's a swap! LOL I've done ATC swaps for 40 to 50 participants and that was bad enough. Not sure I'd want to do that many A2 cards!
