LOC Happy Days - Card 2

I am back today to show you the second card for my Card Design Class at my LSS Scrap n Stuff, next week!


This card is the quick card of the set - I usually try to make one more complex and one simple one - it does not come much easier then this!

The Basic Grey DP has been embossed with the Stylised Flowers Embossing Folder.

I have stamped the Backyard Bird image with two Distressing Inks - Spiced Marmalade and Walnut Stain and cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Circle and Lacey Circles Nestibilities.

Finishing off with a row of thin ribbon and lace, along with some half pearls.  Nice and easy!

This card is for the following challenges:
My Time to Craft - Here comes Summer
Oldie But a Goodie - Must Use Stamp at least 6 Months Old
Make It Monday - Anything Goes
Pile It On - Going Around in Circles
Craft Your Days Away - Circles
Secret Crafter - Embossing


You can see more of my projects in my Layers of Color Gallery, while you are there make sure you check out the other Design Team galleries there is so much inspiration waiting to be discovered, we are thrilled that Layers of Color is a Spellbinders Preferred Product Partner.

    Doesn't really look simple....you must cut everything in advance for them. Anyway, it is beautiful!!! Love the colors of distress ink you used for the bird.
