I made this birthday card for a special friend of mine using the Branch Out stamp set.
I used Certainly Celery card stock for the base, and Pink Pirouette for the bottom layer. I wanted to give the swing a 3-D look, so I used a pewter Jumbo Brad and linen thread. I stamped a few butterflies in the upper corner of the card.
I think this makes a nice summer card and I hope you do too! Supplies: Branch Out stamp set; Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White card stock; Close to Cocoa, Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red Classic Ink; Jumbo Pewter Brad, Linen Thread.
OMG Traci! this is just so clever! I *love* the little tire swing and the card is terrific! Your friend is going to love it too! :)
