Hello SCT Peeps!  My name is Stesha Bloodhart and I am a member of the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Artisan Design Team!

The Bird Ballad Suite is my favorite product suite from the Stampin’ Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and perfect for a trio of wedding creations. The images from the Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set are so cute and color friendly!

All three projects use the same watercolor technique for each image. I like to use the Stamparatus to stamp multiple images at once and to ensure I get full coverage when stamping on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.

Each image was stamped in Jet Black Staz On Ink onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and colored with a medium brush tip Aqua Painter and the following Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink Pads:  Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay.

After allowing the images to dry, they were then snipped with Paper Snips

The congratulations card was created using the following steps:

  • Start with a 4 ¼ x 5 ½ card base of Shimmery White Cardstock
  • Adhere a loop of Petal Pink 5/8” Organdy Striped Ribbon as shown with Mini Glue Dots
  • Adhere a 3 5/8 x 5 1/8 piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Cut the card front from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and adhere to a 3 3/8 x 5 piece of the petal pink polka dot from Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper
  • Crop a 3 inch circle of Shimmery White Cardstock using the largest Layering Circle Die and wrap with a piece of Linen Thread, securing it in place with a bow. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
