Here is the card I designed for this weeks sketch. I used the Heartsong stamp set from Skipping Stones Design to design my card. I used the music border to create a background and then I inked and distressed the edges.
Here is this week's sketch for Skipping Stones Design. SSD#69
Here is a close up of the sentiment in the upper corner.
Here is a close up of the sweet little bird image. I stamped the image of the bird three times, once onto the label, then the oval and also on another piece of paper. I colored the bird with Copic markers and then hand cut the image, added 3D Foam Squares and layered the images.
To make the diecuts I used the Grand Calibur™ and S5-027 Labels Twenty-One, S4-110 Classic Ovals Large and S4-328 Foliage die templates from Spellbinders™ to cut/emboss the shapes.
I added some Black and Baby Blue Rhinestones from Want2Scrap for corner accents around the label and a Prima Rose.Supplies
