SSD Sketch #79

For the month of June, I was asked to be the Guest Sketch Artist for Skipping Stones.  To check out this weeks sketch, head on over to the Skipping Stones Design blog.

For my card, I used the Heartsong stamp set.  I love how all of the images incorporate some kind of music notes.  Not only are the images cute, but I could see any music lover really admiring this set.  My daughter, who plays the piano and sings (and rarely comments on stamp sets) thought that this was a cool set.  Which is a big compliment coming from a teenager lol.  

To create the shape of the card, I cut/embossed a Spellbinders Grand Label die twice, then adhered the pieces together (at the top) to create the card base.  I then cut/embossed a smaller die, with kraft paper and stamped the scene on that.  To give the card a little dimension, I adhered the kraft panel to the card using foam tape.  The same with the bird.  I stamped the bird onto yellow card stock, cut it out, an adhered it to the card with foam tape.
