Pretty Birdcages for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by either s sketch or a colour combo.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pretty birdcages card, you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Night of Navy & Basic White card

 

I stamped the beautiful birdcages across one of the Basic White panels using all of the colours specified. I started in the centre and masked off the stamped images before stamping the next so that they appeared in the background.

If the cages needed longer hanging chains, I inked up the chain, turned the stamp upside down and added length to the chain.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Flirty Flamingo ink around the edges of the panel to pull the design together. I glued the stamped layer to the Flirty Flaming panel and wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Ribbon around securing it on the back with Sellotape.

The sentiment from the Beautifully Happy stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto scrap Basic White card and was then punched out using the Double Oval Punch. I punched a slightly larger scalloped oval using the same punch and scrap Night of Navy card. I glued the two together and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

Perching Parrot card

Posted on by

I am loving all the birds, butterflies, dragonflies and bees in my garden at the moment and have made another bird themed card to share with you today featuring a perching parrot.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the perching parrot card, you will need:

Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Tahitian Tide card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”
Scrap Basic White & Tahitian Tide

 

I stamped the sentiment, from the Framed Occasions stamp set, in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card. Using the same ink I stamped the hexagonal frame, from the same stamp set around the sentiment and die cut it using the Beautiful Shapes Dies.

I placed the die cut hexagon onto one of the Basic White panels and drew around the edges lightly with a pencil.

The spay of larger leaves were stamped in Soft Sea Foam ink on either side of the pencilled in hexagon. I added the sprig using Pear Pizzazz ink. The pencil marks were then rubbed out and the sentiment added on Dimensionals. The whole panel was then glued to the Tahitian Tide layer and then to the Pear Pizzazz card front using liquid glue.

The parrot from the Pretty Birds stamp set was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured using Blends Pens. I used Soft Succulent for the head, Parakeet Party for the chest and back and Tahitian Tide for the wing and tail feather. The beak was coloured with Pale Papaya and the little bit above the beak and the feet in Crumb Cake. I used the Birdhouse Dies to die cut the bird and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

From scrap Tahitian Tide card, I die cut a trio of feathers using the Birdhouse Dies and tucked them under the sentiment.

To complete the card I added a trio of 2022-2024 In Color Dots and a bow made using the 2022-2024 In Color Twine.

I absolutely love how this card turned out. So pretty.
