birdie birthday and necklaces
Two topics in today's post: my mom's birthday card and some new pendants! We celebrated my Mom's birthday this past weekend, and I made this card for her. Because I discovered she reads this blog I had to wait until AFTER she received it to post it. :-D
For this layout, I am using this one from my friend Lisa Zappa!
This Memory Box Bird Branch image was paired with a new Hero Arts Birthday clear stamp, and a sheet of gorgeous Memory Box 6x6 Aerial paper.
The bird branch image was stamped in Adirondack Espresso on white cardstock, then I swiped the surface and edges using an Antique Linen Distress pad, and the edges only with Distress Vintage Photo. Blended with Tim's tool then matted onto Espresso cardstock. To the back right of this unit I added a small section of Aerial cardstock that was punched with a SU spiral punch, following Zappy's layout.
I know birdies are popular right now, but these stamps and paper to me are timeless - I don't know why I am so drawn to this Aerial cardstock but it sure talks to me! LOL!! Things like paper, stamps and even beads - they all talk to me!! They and tell me where to go and what to do. I just listen. And obey. :-D :-D
Back to the directions - I stamped the birthday circular sentiment on Aerial decorative paper, then punched out with a circle punch. Added a decorative brad and mounted to the cardfront with a pop-dot. Happy Birthday Mom!
Second part of the post: BEADS
I will openly admit I have, but do not suffer from: ribbon, paper, rubber (and photopolymer) stamp addictions. I am not seeking help or intervention at this time. :-D
However, I also have a bead addiction. My latest craze has been shopping on Etsy and finding wonderful bead artists that make lampwork focal beads!
And yes, these beads did talk to me through my monitor! LOL!!
Here are two sets of beads I found on Etsy last week from Mary Noelker:
talkative beads
really talkative beads
...and here is what I made with them!
They stop talking to me once I make them in to something. Maybe then they are happy and just talk to each other. :-D
Happy Friday and best wishes for a wonderful weekend!
