So Kind


Isn't this a fun color combination? Today is the first Pals Paper Arts Challenge of the year, and to kick things off, here's a fun color challenge!


DEEtails:

I started by stamping some bird cages from SU!'s Aviary set in Baja Breeze on Whisper White card stock. I love the big polka dots on the strip of Paper Patterns in Pear Pizzazz that I stamped the sentiment from SU!'s Priceless set in Whisper White ink and embossed. I added a crumpled strip of Eyelet Border punch in Perfect Plum. Then I stamped the sweet bird from SU!'s Always stamp set in VersaMark ink, embossed and cut him out. I added a Very Vanilla Seam Binding bow with a cute button to add that little extra touch.

Special DEElivery:

This card was mailed off to my grandmother in Hawaii! :)
