Sweet little birdie

I love this little bird from the Always stamp set!

I used it here for a 3″ x 3″ thank you card.

The card base is a 3″ x 6″ piece of textured River Rock cardstock folded in half.

The horizontal strip measures 1 1/2″ x 3″, the bottom edge is distressed with the Cutter’s tool kit.

The paper is from the Western Sky Designer Paper pack. I tied a piece of Double Stitched River Rock ribbon around that layer.

The bird is inked with Ruby Red ink. Before stamping the image on Whisper White cardstock, I outlined it with the brush side of my Chocolate Chip Marker. I colored his eye brown, punched his head out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch and layered it first on a 1 3/8″ River Rock circle, followed by a Chocolate Chip scallop circle.

The image was adhered with dimensionals and two white brads were added on the left. The sentiment is from Fundamental Sayings and was stamped in Chocolate Chip.

I love this layout for little cards. It’s back from my 4th Weekend sketch challenge but it’s been around forever!

I made a bunch of these as Thank you cards for my latest orders.  

Question: Would you mind getting a 3″ x 3″ card as a RAK? Is that size too small for a RAK?

I really need Stampin’ Up! to start carrying chocolate chip and white brads. If you feel the same, please drop them a note by going to the website and clicking on contact us. I already send them an email. Right now I am getting my white brads from Starlitstudio .
