I'm playing along with a great sketch today over at Hand Stamped Sentiments! I love the big banner element; it's a great way to show off a larger piece of DSP. I thought the Sweet Songbirds would be a fun set to use for this sketch.
These are such fun, bright colors to work with. I love how the In Colors this year work so well with each other. I started with an Orchid Oasis base, then a piece of 2022-2024 In Colors DSP in Tahitian Tide for the banner. I shared a quick reel on Instagram a week or so ago on how to get a perfect banner/flag end. Check out the tip @didyoustamptoday I edged the banner with a little scalloped detail from the Penned Flowers dies.
The bird and wing are stamped and punched out, the nest and branch stamped and fussy cut along with the sign and then they are all adhered to the card front either flat or with dimensionals. I used a bit of the Orchid Oasis baker's twine to hang the sign so it would follow the sketch.
I added 2 Decorative Matte Dots in Parakeet Party for a final touch.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
