I used a piece that's been sitting on my table for a couple weeks. The partial circle is the piece cut out for another card I've shared. And I stamped the sentiment as a practice for placement on that card. Since I hadn't tossed it out, I decided to use it:) The sentiment is from Gina K. I stamped the bird (from an Inkadinkado set) with Versamark on Riding Hood Red cardstock (from Stampin' Up!) and embossed it with detail gold embossing powder. I cut it out, mounted it on foam squares and attached it to the sentiment piece. Then I matted with more red cardstock. I used some shimmery gold paper for more matting and embossed with a Sizzix folder. I matted it with one more layer of red.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Hi Lynette. Oh this is awesome. I love that embossed flower and the red flowers on the bird.
love the embossing.
That's very pretty, Lynette. I love the use of the metallic shimmer paper, and the contrasting red. The partial circle is a nice touch, and very unusual. Always nice to be able to use offcuts from other projects, isn't it!
Thank you for your lovely comment. I am actually quite enjoying all the packing up in preparation for the move - there's a lot to think about and tons to do, both here and at Mum's, but we are getting through it and it won't be long before we are settled in, I am sure. I am soooo looking foward to planning my new ARTHaven and getting stuck in there, and being productive again!
Trying to get my hubby to take things easy is an absolutely impossible task. I've been trying for 26 years and still no nearer to success! Lol! He's incorrigible.

Beautifully elegant card. I so like the combination of papers, and the bird is beautiful.
I really like what you did with the bird.
I see cards like yours and think "why can't I do something as clever, simple, and gorgeous as this?" Love it!
:Dxx
Love what you did with the bird, Lynette! LOVE it! And the embossed panel -- oh, my! Fabulous job of putting these parts together. You are such an inspiration!
