Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are working with 5 set colours. I have chosen to use the Pretty Birds stamp set to make my card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate to row of pretty birds card, you will need:
Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic Black card – 4½” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾”
Scrap Basic Black card
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I randomly stamped the outline row of birds image all over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White using Daffodil Delight ink. The stamped panel was then glued, using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the larger Basic Black layer.

A length of Black and White Gingham Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape, The whole piece was then added to the Daffodil Delight card base using the same liquid adhesive.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the same outline birds image onto the 3¾” by 2¾” piece of Basic White card. This was then die-cut using the Layering Diorama Dies. Whilst I had the dies out I also die cut a larger diorama panel from the 4½” by 3½” piece of Basic Black card. The black diorama piece was then slipped under the ribbon on the card front and glued in place.

I used Stampin ’n Write Markers to ink up the solid, in-fill images of the birds in an ink to stamp technique. I inked and stamped each colour individually starting with Pacific Point. I moved onto Mango Melody, Tahitian Tide, Daffodil Delight and finished off with Garden Green. The finished piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
