I seem to be drawn to stamp sets that include birds and flowers, and the Flying Home set in the Occasions Catalog is fits the bill. This one is colored with our Stampin' Blends. Such fun! Looking forward to playing with the other images in this set. The card is constructed of Pool Party, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight card stock. Stampin' Blends are alcohol markers that come in our exclusive colors. I love the way they color without streaks and blend easily to add dimension to the coloring. They can be purchased individually, but you'll need both the light and dark shades of each color to accomplish that depth, so you might as well purchase the combo pack when ordering. This card does have one discontinued item: the Daffodil Delight grosgrain ribbon. However, you can get the exact same effect using a 5/8" strip of Daffodil Delight card stock.

This card shows off one of our new In Colors, Berry Burst, using the new Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack. Just love having these designs in all the new colors! Such a great stamp set, too, although I chose to use the Watercolor Wings set for this card. I cut my dsp the same size as my Whisper White - 4" x 5-1/4". Then I cut into the middle and folded back the edges, holding them in place with a single dimensional behind each flap. The butterfly is attached with dimensionals beneath body only. The Rhinestone Basic Jewels are left over from our previous annual catalog; I used the connected string of rhinestones.
