SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Spring is definitely in the air in northern Arizona.  The wind is blowing and all the pollens are floating around.  But on a more positive note, the birds have built their nests and are waiting for their families to grow!  I've been wanting to play with this "Eggs in a Nest" stamp set for a while, so decided this was the time!  I used three brown shades of ink for the layers of the stamped nest, and used a second generation of the glacier blue ink on the eggs themselves - wanted to keep the colors soft.  The background paper is from the CTMH Mix-In papers, and the background overlay was cut using the Diagonal Stripe Slimline Die, also from CTMH.  The sentiment is stamped on glacier cardstock with peacock ink on a piece of glacier cardstock.  The photo at the Inspire.Create.Challenges made me think of this the die, and the kraft color in the Inspired By Challenge photo led me to the background paper.  Check out both of these challenge blogs to see other cards created with these inspirations!

Using a die that covers the entire front of the card makes for a quick project.  Since there was no coloring, the stamped images were ready to go in no time!  

This die is sized for slimline cards and measures 3.5 x 8.5.  The stitched lines around the border add a nice touch.  

 

You can see with the "Eggs in a Nest" stamp set the various layers used to create the nest.  Since the stamps are clear, they line up perfectly without the aid of a stamp platform.

Thanks for stopping by today.
