Another use for the brayer!

We have a new hostess at CAS Colours & Sketches, Caro and she's starting this morning with a colour combo that I just love. Making my card was so easy this morning!

I used my bird punch and Language of Friendship stamp set to make this one.  The tricky bit was doing the mirror image stamping but since I have rediscovered my brayering it was a sinch!


I used tone on tone stamping for the wings and the branch and some foam pads to add a little dimension.


The sentiment is made up from a magazine freebie and a stamp from Happiest Birthday Wishes. I have used some Naturals White cardstock for the card base. It makes it a little softer than white.


Have a look at the challenge blog for more inspiration from my teamies.

  2. This is so cute, Louise! Gorgeous birds and placement and I love the use of the colours. The sentiment is perfect too - I really like how you've put two such different fonts together - it works brilliantly. Caro x
