Divinity Designs LLC Birthday Bird of the Month - the Swan!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the next installment for the Birthday Bird of the Month series!  This month's bird is the Swan. Check out the subscription details HERE on the website, along with more gorgeous card samples!  Enjoy! 

For my first sample, the design was planned around this beautiful scene from the Silent Snowfall A2 Card Fronts paper pad.  The light and reflection on the water along with the beautiful colors just spoke to me.  Here are all of the product used in the making of this card:

Stamp/Die Duo: Birthday Bird of the Month - October

Paper: Silent Snowfall A2 Card Fronts

Dies: A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, Scalloped Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, Pierced Rectangles, Scalloped Circles, Circles

Embossing Folder: Flourishes

Misc: Blending Brushes, Foam Mounting Tape 

 

I had fun coming up with the next design. The swan image was stamped twice on white vellum, colored with markers on the underside of each image, covered with an adhesive sheet, then adhered to white cardstock.  Both images were cut with the coordinating die; the reverse image was held up to a light in order to line up the die correctly.  Though the reverse image is not as bold, I'm still happy at how it came out.  I love how two swans together have a shape like a heart. Here are all of the items used for this card:

Stamp/Die Duo: Birthday Bird of the Month - October

Paper: Gradient Gardens Slimline

Dies: Mini Slimline Card Base, Mini Slimline Flourishy Frame
