This is a sneaky peaky of one of the two birds in the new Little Paper Shop set {The Beauty of Nature.} Love those little guys; I can't wait to make a set of cards with 'em as a gift for my Papa (who really loves birds.) First, I had to get some floweriness out of my system though!
This may be my first post in eons with no tutorial (it hurts not to blabber on about stuff) but I feel unnaturally bleh, lol. :O)
This sweet sentiment is in the set too, along with some other great ones. (Love that font so much!) This phrase fits perfectly in SU's 1 1/4 inch punch!
Here, it's embossed with Not Quite Navy & clear embossing powder;
added to a matching 1 3/4 " circle, a scallop, & with little embroidery thread knots.
Other card ingredients: Here, it's embossed with Not Quite Navy & clear embossing powder;

Flowers: Water Swirl stamp (a mystery ebay source sorry) embossed with turquoise-tinted Versamark (homemade) & clear embossing powder. Painted with CTMH markers (White Breeze & Chocolate); Punched with Stampin' Up! punches: Boho Blossoms, 5-petal flower, & spring bouquet & a Martha Stewart cornflower punch too. The centers are stitched with double knots of brown embroidery thread.
Hope your day is craftilicious! :O)
