Paradise Birds with a DIY Background

Hello friends!  It’s Amanda Fitterer here and today I’m sharing a soft and pretty “LOVE YOU” card featuring the Paradise Birds Stamp Set.  Let’s make this card together!  Grab your supplies!

This card has a few layers to it!  Starting from the largest to the smallest:
1. A2 Sized Card Base: 4.25″ x 5.5″
2. Vellum: 3.5″ x 4.75″
3. White/Green Panel: 3″ x 4.25″
4. White/Pink Panel: 2.75″ x 4″

For the White/Green Panel, we’re going to blend Catherine Pooler’s Melon Ice just around the edges.  For the White/Pink panel, we’re going to blend (just lightly in the center) Cotton Candy.

Next up, we’re going to stamp our leaves from the Paradise Birds Stamp Set directly onto our card base using Melon Ice ink. To make this process a little quicker, I like to use a combination of my acrylic blocks and my MISTI.  I do this because I want to use the foam from the MISTI to get a better stamped image, but the acrylic blocks make it much faster, as I don’t have to constantly move my stamps around!

We’re ready to stamp our sweet birds now!  After stamping with alcohol marker-friendly Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I’m coloring my images with Copic markers.  Once finished with that, I’ll die cut them with the coordinating die set.

To assemble my card, I’m using 3D foam squares, 3D foam tape, and liquid glue.

Here are a few close-ups of this sweet card.

Well, friends!  That’s it for me today!!  I hope you have enjoyed this post and find some time to get crafty today!!
