Monday morning. Hope you all had a sunny weekend. We had a super day yesterday,
t-shirts and shorts, but overcast today. So back to jumpers!
I'm flying in on the seat of my pants for the Freshly made Sketches challenge which closes today. Here's the sketch -
and the colours on the right are from the Simply Stampin' challenge this week.
I've made my card base Crumb Cake and added a panel of designer paper from Everyday Enchantment matted onto Poppy Parade. The smaller mat is Baja Breeze with Very Vanilla and I've stamped an image and sentiment from another free Sale-A-Bration set, Elementary Elegance. I inked up the frame in Baja Breeze first then used my Poppy Parade marker to colour the crown. The sentiment fits perfectly into the frame using a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for accurate placement and was stamped in Poppy Parade. Can I say what a saddo I am, because seeing the sentiment go into the frame just tickled me!
I distressed the edges and sponged lightly with Crumb Cake. I wrapped some Linen Thread around the left edge then attached to the card. The little bird is from the same stamp set and I punched it out with the 1" circle punch then stamped again and punched it out with the 1/2" circle punch then attached over the original image with a Dimensional. Again it was stamped in Poppy Parade and the edges of the main circle sponged with Crumb Cake.
Hope you have a good Monday. I would like to say Hi to my new follower Lola, hope to see you dropping by often. x

Great card Aileen, love the red paper, very stylish
This is such a lovely card Eileen, I love the popped up birdie and the red sentiment and crown add a real punchy pop of colour. It's not sad at all to be tickled about the sentiment in the frame - you just appreciate the fabulousness of it, that's all LOL!

Hello Aileen. Oh you did a fine job with the sketch and the colors. This is really gorgeous! I love the crown and the little popped up bird - they are the perfect touches.
what a gorgeous card! I love a good torn edge, it really adds to the vintage feel of the DSP you've used! and that little birdie in the corner is so sweet!
