Swirly Bird and Suite Sayings Card

Some cards just make me smile. And this is one of them! 

I must admit that when I first got the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Framelits Dies, I was overwhelmed with all the adorable things that were being posted online. SO MUCH CUTENESS! I struggled with what to create! But once I actually started using it, and stopped looking at Pinterest, the inspiration started to flow.

Here is my card for today:

Swirly Scribbles Suite Sayings Card

It has been a couple of weeks of celebrations around here lately. My great-nephew turned 2, and my youngest son turned 16! Parties and fun times were had all around. This card was not given to either one of them (because I feel that the colors are a bit too feminine for either one of them), but it is a card that could be given for a birthday, if you wanted. It could also be a card for any other celebration-worthy event. I hope you like it!

All supplies are from Stampin' Up!:

Stamp Sets: Suite Sayings, Swirly Bird, Watercolor Wash

Inks: Daffodil Delight, Archival Basic Black

Card Stock: Whisper White Thick, Pear Pizzazz, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White

Accessories: Big Shot, Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies, Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Marker, Decorative Label Punch, Linen Thread, Brights Sequin Assortment, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Dimensionals

On the Whisper White panel (underneath the Flirty Flamingo swirls), I used the Watercolor Wash Background Stamp. It is kind of hard to tell, because I stamped it off twice before stamping it on my panel. I used Daffodil Delight, but I wanted it to look very much like a watercolor wash had just been used on it. You can see it a bit better in real life, but I like it. I didn't want it to "jump out" at you, and take away from the other elements on the card.

I hope you all have something to celebrate today!
