It seems that this time of the month (countdown to the newest Papertrey release) arrives quicker and quicker each month - already it's JUNE! And that means a new PT release on the 15th - so here is my countdown release sample using Papertrey's soon-to-be-released Birds of a Feather set by Candice (wait till you see the entire set!!)
Since it is also Friday and I always post my Friday Sketch today - I thought instead of having 2 separate posts I could incorporate my sketch with my countdown project - so those that always look forward to the sketch won't be disappointed! You will find the sketch at the end of this post!
I started with a piece of white Papertrey cardstock, a pencil and the template and largest tag rims from the Making Memories circle tag rims set.
You just trace the size of circle you need with the pencil, and cut out with scissors. The cutting doesn't need to be exact as the edge gets covered by the tag rims.
I then inked up the hummingbird image with PT's Aqua Mist ink (I was going to say the hummingbird is my favorite out of the set but after playing with it I am loving all the bird images!) and stamped it onto one of the circles.
Next I used my Quickie Glue pen and went over the image, then pressed white Fun Flock onto the adhesive. Y'all may remember the tutorial I did not too long ago using fun flock - this is the same idea but instead of filling in the lines I just went over the entire solid image.
You can also stamp the image with a glue pad then cover it with flock - but I wanted the Aqua Mist color so I did it this way (white fun flock is pretty much transparent when applied - a tip I picked up from Lauren!).
Here's a slanted view of the finished card so you can see the added texture.
For the other circle I stamped the flower image and stem from the set using Lavender Moon and Spring Moss inks.
I then inserted both circles into the tag rims and pressed them shut with the tag maker - takes seconds to do!
And here is my finished card!!
I used a strip of patterned paper from Papertrey's Everyday Blessings 12x12 paper pack (the designs on the papers go really well with the images of this bird set I think) along with a piece of Aqua Mist cardstock. The sentiment is from the Birds of a Feather set (such a great font!), and the ribbon is Lavender Moon Satin ribbon.
Don't forget to check out Nichole's sneak peek post (as if you weren't stalking her blog already *wink*) using this set, as well as Candice's blog as she's been posting cards with her set as well!
