I love this feature because I get to use products I didn’t have a chance to use during Release Countdown. Today I’m using Tweet Wishes, Tweet Wishes Die-namics, and Diagonal Design Background for the first time for a super fun card.

I started by stamping
Diagonal Design Background with Versamark on Ranger Watercolor Paper and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. To get a good impression, I stamped on the smooth side of the paper using my MISTI several times.Then I did a watercolor wash with Peerless Watercolors and set it aside to dry. In the meantime, I stamped several birds from Tweet Wishes on X-Press It Blending Card with Black Licorice hybrid ink, cut them out with the coordinating dies, and colored with Copic markers.

When the background was dry, I cut openings using Stitched Oval Word Windows Die-namics and also Interactive Oval Word Windows Die-namics, evenly spaced. I stamped the sentiment on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder then adhered it with foam mounting tape. I created shaker elements from the other windows using foam mounting tape, Heat Resistant Acetate card stock, and sequins. After I adhered this to the Sweet Tooth card stock base, I popped up the birdies with foam. When I was finished I thought the front looked just a little bare so I stamped another sentiment and adhered it on top of the interactive window flap.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you soon!
