Hello and welcome to the Frames Blog Hop where we are, not surprisingly showcasing projects using frames. I don’t have any of the sets of frames dies so have improvised using the Beautiful Shapes Dies and the Pretty Birds stamp set.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the Pretty Birds card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Tahitian Tide card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil
Using a Blending Brush, I added Tahitian Tide ink to the Basic White panel.

I used 2 nested hexagonal dies from the Beautiful Shapes dies set and die cut 3 frames from scrap Gold Foil card. The gold frames were adhered to the inked Basic White panel. I stamped around the edges with Mossy Meadow ink.

The sweet little budgies for the Pretty Birds stamp set were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The birds were coloured using Daffodil Delight ink, Petal Pink ink, Parakeet Party ink and Tahitian Tide ink. I coloured the little bit above the beak with a Soft Suede Marker Pen.

The birds were added with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Dimensionals. A trio of Fine Sparkle Gems completed the card.
