Free As A Bird – mmm…Stampin' Time

I kept thinking about using the STITCHED NESTED DIES in a rainbow based card.

This evolved today into a pinks through reds project. I used all eight nesting dies and eight different pieces of coloured cardstock to cut each layer.

Then I overlaid and adhered each of them at different angles, before cutting it back for the front of this card.

A birdcage, from a piece of Bird Ballad DSP, is the background filler.

I stamped a bird, from the FREE AS A BIRD stamp set, and water coloured it and added a touch of Wink of Stella.

A few FROM MY HEART FACETED GEMS gave that touch of bling.

This card is a very different style for me. I am enjoying pushing myself to try something new!

What do you think? I might try the blues next.

Happy stamping.

I have been thinking of jigsaws, although we don’t have any. After we downsized, for our move to Brisbane last year, they were one of the items donated to a local charity.

So, I made my own 16 piece puzzle.

I stamped and water coloured my image using the FREE AS A BIRD stamp set, before dusting off my PUZZLE PIECES DIES and, hey presto, one jigsaw puzzle.

The background flower was stamped using the Smoky Slate Classic Stampin’ Pad – but I stamped off first.

I had a relaxing time making this card, especially the water colouring.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping … and water colouring!
