Wplus9 Feburary Release: Flora & Fauna I

Welcome, to day 1 of Wplus9's February Release! Today we bring you Flora & Fauna I, which...
  • is a 6X8 clear photopolymer stamp set
  • contains 7 stamps; 4 large focal images and 3 accent images
  • will be available for purchase February 1st for just $19

Every time I use this set, I think of my Mom. Dogwood and Cardinals are her favorite! How perfect is it that these two are featured together in one set. So, this ones for you Mom... For today's card, I've used only one of the focal images... the Cardinal. The Cardinal comes perched on a dogwood branch, which I stamped onto a die cut Rustic Cream frame. Colored with Copics and attached to a kraft card base. It may be a little hard to tell in the photo, but I stamped a row of woodgrain (using an image from Woodgrain Silhouettes) onto the card base before attaching the cardinal.

Next, I stamped the Cardinal image two more times, colored the flowers and then cut them out. Attached the flowers over and around the main image, to frame it. Finished it off with a sentiment and Fine Linen silk ribbon.

Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the Wplus9 Design Team has to inspire you with today:

Thanks for stopping by today, have a wonderful day!
