Joyful Robin

Hi Artzy friends - 
Today's card features an image from the new Joyful Robin stamps and dies, as well as a really unique background die.


These beautiful images and sentiments can be used for many different occasions, all year long.

I cut the background die, called Circle Background, out of rose gold mirror cardstock, and it cut beautifully. Full disclosure - I don't own this die, but had borrowed it when it was first released (It was so popular that it was sold out.) and thought it would look pretty cut out of this mirror cardstock. I loved it so much that I've had it sitting on my desk, waiting for the perfect card to use it on! 

I backed the diecut with green cardstock on which I stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink. I embossed it with rose gold embossing powder which turned out to be a pretty good match, and fits perfectly in the round space cut by the die. 
The panel was then mounted on navy blue cardstock, which I though really made the whole thing pop. 

I just love how the background shines, and really showcases the beautiful joyful bird!

Bird-Day Greetings

Hi Artzy friends!

 My card today features the Dare 2B Artzy  Little Birdie stamp set, and I think this birthday card would be appropriate for a man or woman, young or old. I don't know about you, but I love having a few birthday cards on hand that I can pop in the mail quickly when the need arises.


To create this card I first did some ink blending using three blue shades of Distress Oxide inks.



I cut an overlay with the Circle Background die out of a piece of blue mirror card. Shiny!


I colored my bird using Copic markers, and stamped my sentiment on my inked background, aligning it with the large open circle on my die cut. 



I assembled the card, popping up the bird with foam tape. 





I hope your July is going well! Please join the Dare 2B Artzy monthly challenge, Christmas in July, for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate!


Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
