Card Ideas Using Stampin' Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set


The Free As a Bird Stamp Set also comes as a bundle which includes the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, however, for today's card, I'm using the Stitched Shapes Dies for a change of pace.  Don't get me wrong, I love the new Stitched Nested Labels Dies.  This is another new suite in the annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  Its called the Bird Ballad Suite and you can check it out on pages 90-92 in the catalog.  If you love working with Blends Markers or Watercolor pencils, you'll love this set.  But don't be scared off if you don't, because many of the images in the stamp set are also available in the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper already colored.  Relax and do a bit of fussy cutting, or use the papers as backgrounds, as-is.        

       



This card is based on a card I saw from another Elizabeth Price, from Seeinginkspots.com.  I love the soft colors, especially the new Purple Posy background with the Petal Pink.
  


The cards uses Purple Posy as its basecard.  Then a layer of Whisper White.  Then another layer of Purple Posy.  Then for the image layer, I die cut a circle using the Stitched Shapes Dies out of Petal Pink.   




The birds were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored with blends.  One of the larger birds was stamped using the mirror image technique, which I demonstrated in this recent blog post.  

The birds were colored with Light Petal Pink Blends, Light Calypso Coral Blends, Light Daffodil Delight Blends, and Light and Dark Crumb Cake Blends.  The branch was colored with Light and Dark Crumb Cake Blends.  The Leaves were colored with Light and Dark Granny Apply Green Blends.  The flowers were colored with Light Petal Pink Blends and highlights of Light Calypso Coral were add.      
  



The sentiment from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento on the Purple Posy layer.  All of the birds, flowers, and leaves and branches were fussy cut.  I'm hoping Stampin' Up! finds a way to create a set of dies for this stamp set, as the fussy cutting took a long time -- but it was worth it when the card was finished!
