A Little Birdie

January 24, 2022 0 Comments

Hello and welcome Artzy friends! It’s Tonya and I’m back today with a fun birthday card featuring the Scandinavian Songbirds stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy. I’m always in need of Birthday cards and I can’t think of a better stamp set to use than the Scandinavian Songbirds. This set has everything you need to make beautiful birthday cards and the sentiments are some of my favorites.

To start, I stamped one of the little birds from the set along with the corner floral bunch and two of the single flowers with my Dare 2B Artzy Totally Black ink. I stamped my images onto Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. This is my go-to cardstock for all of my coloring with alcohol markers.

I colored all of my flowers and my little bird with a combination of Copics and Art-n-Fly alcohol markers.  Once I was finished I added some white dot details to the flowers and bird with a Jelly Roll white pen. I also used the Jelly Roll Stardust pen to add a few shimmery accents on the flowers.

When all of my images were colored, I die cut everything out with the coordinating dies and set them aside.

Next, I used a piece of 110lb cardstock and created an A2 size top folding card base.

In my last card, I created some watercolor wash backgrounds. I had two backgrounds leftover so I thought I would use one for today’s card.

Using some double sided tape, I added my water colored background to my card base. It was a bit smaller than my card base so it left a nice white border around it.

I created a simple ¼ inch frame for my watercolor background by using the two largest Rectangle Framelets dies. I added that to the top of my watercolor background with a little Bearly Art Glue. I think the frame pulls the colors together with the floral elements and the cute little bird.

Before adding my colored images, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, “A little birdie told me…it was your birthday” with some blue embossing powder.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Scandinavian Songbirds set in some Midnight Blue ink from Dare 2B Artzy. I love the font used for this sentiment, it’s so pretty.

I added my colored flowers and bird around the outer edges of the frame with some dimensional foam.

This was such a quick and easy Birthday card but it turned out beautifully. I still love using the flowers from this set to frame up card panels. They just make the card pop.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s card.

Be sure to stay tuned to the Dare 2B Artzy blog and Instagram page later this week as there will be lots of good things happening that you don’t want to miss!

Hugs,

Tonya
