The Pretty Birds Bundle (#158847) consists of the Pretty Birds Stamp Set (#158845) and the Birdhouse dies (#158846) which I have used for todays card.
I stamped the birds with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) and these were cut with the co-ordinating dies. The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the birds are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Balmy Blue (#154830), Tahitian Tide (#159221) and Crumb Cake (#154882).
I used one of the designs from the Snowflake Specialty Vellum (#159832) for the background and this was matted with Tahitian Tide card (#159262), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).
“Best Wishes” from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) was stamped with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The bird cage was cut from Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524).
I attached the group of birds with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The bird cage, sentiment and single bird were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Fine Sparkle Adhesive-backed Gems (#159967).
Tip: when attaching vellum I avoid adding adhesive where it will show through. I usually attach all the pieces to the front of the vellum first, then you can see on the back where to add the adhesive. I used Mini Glue dots behind the gems and tape on the larger areas which can’t be seen.
