Nature Walk

I have another share from January stamp club today.  For these cards we used the Nature Walk set and Botanical Gazette paper from the Occasions Mini.  I let the paper guide the color combo and thus we have Early Espresso, Marina Mist and Very Vanilla.  First we ran the Marina Mist layer through the Framed Tulips embossing folder available on page 28 of the Occassions Mini and attached that to our Early Espresso base card.  The next layer is a piece of the DSP from Botanical Gazette with the small bird print.  We then stamped the birdcage image from Nature Walk (page 27 of the mini) in Early Espresso on a square of Very Vanilla and distressed/sponged.  We punched slots on either side of the bird cage image and ran our taffeta ribbon through there and tied it with linen thread.  I thought I had Early Espresso taffeta and did not, so used retired Kraft taffeta on this card.  The ribbon was secured behind the Marina Mist embossed layer with snail.  We stamped the "it's the little things" greeting from The You're a Gem set (page 25 of the mini) onto a vintage tag and tied that to the taffeta ribbon, the tag is also secured with a dimensional to the card so that it doesn't "swing" too much.  Finally, we stamped greetings from Teeny Tiny Wishes - a most versatile set of greetings available in the Idea Book & Catalog on page 157 - onto Very Vanilla.  The greeting was punched out using the Word Window punch and adhered to an Early Espresso piece punched with the Modern Label punch.  The greeting was then adhered to the card with dimensionals. 

I hope you enjoy today's share and stop by to visit again soon!
