Songbirds for a Friend

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today I want to wish a special friend a very happy birthday.


I've foiled with Pewter foil and Pinkfresh Studio Hot Foil Plate on mixed media paper.
Then colored with Zigs and die cut with the matching die.

I die cut again from white cardstock and layered the die cuts.

Want to see the shine?

Hello my lovely Bonnie. I love your card. The gilding looks so amazing creating this extraordinary scene against the embossed background. I love the way you colored birds and twigs. Thank you for the description of the creation of this card, I have tips on how to use the materials you have received as a gift.
Really the gilding on the card gives a stunning effect. I am very happy that this wonderful card came to me :-)

Gosh, this is pretty! I can't believe I passed up these birds when I was shopping Pinkfresh. I pondered, but then didn't get them after all. Now I've seen so many amazing cards with them. Your coloring is so pretty and the embossed backgrounds adds a whole extra dimension. Love it!
