It’s Yainea here and I’m so happy to be here again as a guest designer! I’m playing with the new Avery Elle Summer release and I made a card using the Tweet Tweet stamps and dies.

First, I cut a piece of white Neenah cardstock and stamped randomly the leaves of the set to use them as feathers. Then I stamped the rest of the images and colored the bird and feathers using Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol (I LOVE this technique!).

The next step is die cut a white rectangle using Wonky Borders, those stitches look great and add something extra to the card. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine ink and die cut the bird and cage.

We have everything ready, just assemble everything together: I used Tombow glue to adhere the feathers panel to an Avery Elle Aquamarine notecard and foam adhesive to adhere the wonky panel, bird and cage.

As a final touch, I tied some Lawn Fawn twine to the cage and added a little bow. I hope you like my project! Thanks so much to the people of Simon Says Stamp for having me today. Have a great day!!

  1. This is so fresh and cheerful looking; so clean and crisp. You did a great job. I don’t know how you get colored pencils to look so smooth.

  2. What a cute card. Love the “feather” background. And using twine to “attach” the swing is so imaginative.. Love the colors you used and your coloring is so good. Great design…TFS

  3. So cute and cheerful. I really want to try Gamsol. I bought a Dove blender and I’m not happy with it. It doesn’t really blend, just softens lines but leaves colors separate, takes forever to dry and looks oily.

  4. Such a cool card! Love how the sentiment says to hang in there while the feathers are flying in the background …lol. Who wouldn’t love to get this one?

    Hugs,
    Snoopy :D

  5. What a cute card!!!! Love how you hung the bird. He looks very proud!! Gotta get out the old colored pencils and do some coloring. Yours is perfect. Thanks for inspiration!!!
