Time to Relax

Heart's Delight Cards, Petal Palette, Best Wishes, Stampin' Up!, Occasions 2018,

I finally had time to get back in the my "happy place" after the last two days of rushing to get Mom ready to go back home. The past two weeks just flew by, and I'd have loved it if she could have stayed longer, but she needs to see her doctor so I had to let her go.

This card is one of the ones I made for the Stamp Review Crew Petal Palette blog hop, but I didn't get the photo done and edited in time. Sometimes that last-minute-deadline-looming-mojo comes back to bite me in the behind, LOL.

The bird is colored with Night of Navy, Pool Party, and Bermuda Bay combo Stampin' Blends. I don't know what kind of bird he is (and obviously it's a male, because of the bright plumage), but I like him! He's perched on a branch borrowed from Colorful Seasons.

The pretty scalloped edging was made with the filigree die in the Petals & More Thinlits. I cut two of them, then split them lengthwise and glued them to the back of the mat. You have to look really hard to see the seam where they are joined to make them longer!

Black & White

Don't you just love the clean simplicity of a black and white card?  Or even a monochrome card?  I've had requests to do a "B&W" class, so I've been playing around with it.  This is one that I came up with.  Gotta love that XL 2-Step Bird Punch, again!

The black "DSP" on the bottom was made with with the Solid Stripes stamp in the back of the Occasions Mini.  I stamped the Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink, then just eyeballed it to line up the next set of lines.  Didn't want to get out the Stamp-a-ma-jig....too lazy rushed for time, lol!  It was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Cool, huh?  Looks almost like the Groom Specialty paper.  (Hmmm, that gives me an idea for later.......)

Here's another one, which would also fit the Friday Funday Challenge
