Good Morning Sistahs!
This is a very special week sistahs! Not only do you get Kitchen Sink Monday, but you also get Kitchen Sink Tuesday! (As if we really need another excuse to play with fun and wonderful stamps. *wink) As promised, I have your Sneak Peek of the new Kitchen Sink Stamp Set 3-Step Love Birds. I figured I should probably get a jump-start on my Valentine's Day cards, and this set is perfect.
My hubby is always hard to make cards for, usually because I'm inclined to add bling and glittah and ribbons and...well...you get the idea. So this time I decided to let the stamps speak for themselves. My hubby's favorite color is blue so I decided to make a girl and a boy love bird, (I'll let him be the blue bird. *giggle) and it comes with both words that I use to refer to him: MY LOVE! (He's stored in my cell phone that way....I promise.) Here's what I came up with:
The card itself is 4.5 x 4.5. I used my Label 1 Nesties. It's hard to tell, but both birds were cut out and glued down onto a piece where I added a "sky" background using my chalks and homemade cloud template. I ran the card through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder and placed the dark blue layer on pop dots. (The boy bird is also up on pop dots.) I rounded the corners because I liked the way it compliments the rounded corners of the Label 1 die.
I can't wait to play more with this set! It's absolutely fabulous!!
Pink Bird Layers:
1 - Pink Pirouette
2 - Pink Pirouette
3 - Pretty In Pink (Stamped-off once)

3 - Ballet Blue (Stamped-off once)

Thanks for stopping by...TWO DAYS IN A ROW! (You might want to come by tomorrow too, I have a fun card to show-off...as soon as I finish it. *wink)
Happy Tuesday & Happy Stampin'
