Here's another card I made with
*my* bird stamps!! (See the
previous post to read why they are MINE!) :-D But wait, you say, there's no BIRDS on this card!?! Nope, this time I used the little ivy leaves that Pamela included in the set, to create a wreath! I was more or less CASEing myself for this one - I made a similar wreath a few months ago with a holly leaf in another one of Pamela's sets, found
here. I'm proud to say that the suggestion to add the little leaves & flowers to the set was mine - when Pamela shared an early version of the set with me and asked if I had any ideas to help fill in the empty space on the sheet. That's one FUN part of being on a design team, seeing the preliminary sketches and getting to submit feedback!! Some details about the card - to create the wreath I began by penciling in a circle on the paper - tracing one of my circle Nesties. Then I stamped the leaves around the circle, erased the pencil mark and colored the leaves in three different shades of green. I also did a few on scrap paper to cut out and pop up, to add a little more dimension to the wreath. When I was done I wasn't happy with how stark white the background looked next to the wreath, so I went a little mad with my sponge daubers and a couple shades of brown ink! This was another fun card to make! If you have any sets with small leaves, remember they can make fun wreathes!!
