DivaSC170 Aviary


 Ready to play with a sketch today? This month Tammy Fite has provided the Utah Divas with some great sketches. Remember, to see more ideas and for the links to Utah Divas blogs, you can visit the Utah Divas Int'l blog. We hope you'll play along!


 I just received a shipment of Occasions Mini supplies and couldn't wait to play with our new Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (item#125406). If you are not familiar with the word, twitterpated means to be completely enamored with someone/something. I believe that is how you will feel about this paper once you get some in your hot little hands and see all of the great patterns on it! And how about that pleated ribbon? *Swoon* Ahem... back to work.


So when I created this card, my plan was to use different bird cages from the Aviary stamp set (clear mount item #120462). Except I stamped the legs of the cages too close together so I had to improvise! (Notice I didn't say that I messed up...not exactly...) So what's a stamper to do? I stamped the slimmest cage 3 times and used my Paper Snips to trim the height. After that I just had to use "wish big" for the sentiment; it fits!


Thanks for stopping by!

Adriana, I love your card! I hate to admit that I own this set, I love the cards I see made with Aviary, and I have yet to ink it up! And I'm with you, give me that Titterpated paper and the pleated ribbon and I'm in heaven!
Also, I absolutely love your new look for your blog!

I love this new layout! Your card is wonderful! I really love how you used the same cage stamp and trimmed it to make it look like three different stamps!!!

Clever! I would not have noticed that the bridcages were really the same stamp! Darling card. And yes, that paper is definitely swoon-worthy!
