I would never put these colors together, except for a K. Werner Color Challenge! This card design is even outside of my element, but I thought it was necessary given the colors. I wanted to do something different, keeping it bold and new!
How do you like it? Is it weird? Sometimes I think it is, sometimes I don't! I'll just call it whimsical; does that fit?
Instructions
- Pull out a Papertrey Ink white pre-scored A2 card and set aside.
- Trim black cardstock to 4" x 5.25".
- Die cut circles (pattern paper + red cardstock) and adhere to black cardstock.
- Ink chipboard (bird + limb) using craft ink.
- Cover bird's wing with cardstock, then stamp design (the design on the heart stamp fit perfectly).

- Add green pearls.
- Rub-on sentiment.
