Just nesting…

Come on spring!  Its colder here today – but I know spring is right around the corner.

For this card I used the stamps from the Elegant Nest Cling set to make two love birds snug in their nest.  The set contains images by Odd Bird Planet.

I stamped the birds in Memento Tuxedo and colored them with Copics.  I added some Copic Spica glitter pen.  Then I cut them out with a circle Spellbinders die and inked the background slightly with a duster brush and Broken China Distress Ink

I colored the nest, cut out around it and adhered it in front of the birds with foam tape. 

The background paper is from my stash (Crate Paper).  I added the faux stitching by piercing holes with my Tim Holtz Design Ruler (love that thing) and connecting the holes with little dashes of Souffle pen.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Cathy – Your card is sensational. I adore the DP but those carefully colored birds and their pale blue aura steal my heart.

    Cathy – I adore your long comments. It’s just like chatting with you. I didn’t find an email address for you so I’m posting my response as a comment to this post. Or – was I just looking for an excuse to revisit your blog?
