So onto my card. I used 2 of IO's cover-a-card background stamps, 2 of my current favorites as a matter of fact, Gingham, and Distressed Corduroy. I love the fact that these stamps can cover an entire A2 sized card in one shot! Yet they can be used for the tiniest items, like the center of my flower which I stamped with the Distressed Corduroy.
For the sentiment, I used Papertrey Ink's Basic Labels and Tag-its #3.
The bird was cut with the dove die from PTI's Peace Be Still die set. The flower was made using PTI's Bloom Builders #1 and Terracotta Tile felt. The leaves were stamped using the larger leaf image from Delightful Dahlias. I added some PTI twine, which I twisted tightly around my piercing tool to make it curly.
This is one of my all time favorite color combos too, definitely has a fall feel, but I love it!
Thanks for visiting me today, I always LOVE when you stop by :)
