Good Morning!
I hadn't realized that Paper Pretties has a weekly sketch challenge so, my card today is based on last Wednesday's sketch challenge! I need to get out more! lol Anyway, here is the sketch ~
I could not get the sentiment to go where the sketch said so I left it off of that particular location but did stamp Hugs & Kisses on the background SO, I am justifying that I DO have a sentiment just not where it is supposed to be! lol
I love the look on the blue birds face, too funny! Anyway, the base of this card is Early Espresso with a mat of a scrap Bazzill turquoise piece of CS I had laying around and it matched my blue bird perfectly, so I used it! The top panel is Kraft which I stamped the heart and Hugs & Kisses using my Versamark. The darling birds, sentiment and heart are all included in THIS set called Love Birds. The birds were stamped on Select White CS using Black Memento ink. I colored them using my Copic Markers and also added some shine using my Yellow, Orange and Clear Copic Spica glitter pens. I cut the image out using my oval Nesties, matted with an Early Espresso scalloped oval and added my ribbon which I have NO idea where or when I got but it matched perfectly!!!
Here is a closer look at the darling image ~
That will do it for me! Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

it's adorable, even if you are a rebel with your sentiment! I'm so glad you could join us at the Paper Pretties challenge.
