Sweet Bird with Blue Flowers for the Greek Isles Trip Achievers Blog Hop April 2019

Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Greek Isles Trip Achievers April 2019 Blog Hop!  Seeing that Stampin' Up!'s Onstage Events were held around the world this past weekend and we all received the new Annual Catalog along with some new products it seemed fitting that our theme this month be New Catalog Sneak Peeks.

I'm pleased to have received the Bird Ballad Suite of products to work with, design projects for, and present at Stampin' Up!'s Onstage Event in Atlantic City, NJ.  The projects I shared there can be found in my previous blog post here.  Of course, there are so many more wonderful ways to use the products in this Suite than what I was limited to fitting on my 3x3 display board at Onstage!  For example, this sweet bird with blue flowers card!  I love that because the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper was originally colored with Blends that it coordinates perfectly with the little bird and branch that I colored with Blends myself.  

Here is a close up of the focal image.  I cut the blue flowers from one of the Paper patterns and popped it up on a dimensional and added a pearl to the center.  I stamped the little bird in Soft Suede ink then colored him with Crumb Cake and Pool Party Blends, a then fussy cut him too so I could pop him onto the card with a dimensional.  Don't you just love the soft delicate look of this card?!
