Its A Surprise

Hi Everyone! I've been super busy this past week with new projects that aren't quite ready to share yet. I finally decided to dive in and start scrapbooking my kiddos. I have 27 months to catch up on and thousands of photos! Scary....and fun!

Today I have a card to share that is for a friend. Its a surprise and I haven't put it in the mail yet. :) He! I hope she likes it.

Oh, check out that birdie. Recognize him? Scroll down to a few posts and you might see him with a winter hat on. :) I also did some hand stitching on this card. It took me a few tries to figure out a technique that I liked. I ended up punching the holes with my sewing machine and then going back with sewing floss by hand. I like the "chunky" look.

Have a great day!

Materials:
Stamps: Hero Arts Lots of Merry, Flourish Design Block, Happy Hello
Paper: PTI, BoBunny
Ink: VersaMark, Memories Black Dye
Other: Hero Arts Pink Pearls, PrismaColor Pencils, Circle & Scallop Nesstabilities, Brown Sewing Floss

LOVE this card, Ashley! I also like the hand-stitching ( I have yet to try that myself).AND I always like to alter the look of a stamp. You make the birdie so versatile. Love THAT!

Hey Ashley,
I was pleasantly surprised to receive this beauty in the mail this morning!! Thank you so much! Wow!! I LOVE it and am thrilled to have a piece of your art! You must have done a little detective work to find my addy. I no longer have to 'lust' from afar. ;)
Hugs,
Sarah
