Birds and Balloons

Good morning everyone....yeaaaaaa it's Thursday and almost the weekend!! I don't have much planned ....stamp a little, weed a little, maybe go to a movie, and bake a cake. I have a recipe for an Italian Cream Cake that I have wanted to make for a while now...doesn't it sound yummy (buttermilk, roasted pecans, coconut, cream cheese frosting...ooooh my!!)
Anyway....I did a little stamping last night using some beautiful paper called It's the Little Things by Fancy Pants. The birdcage and bird stamp from Waltzingmouse's Asian Garden set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black into the dp...Stampin up!'s flower dies were used for the flower and a Sizzix die was used for the leaves. Sewing around the edges, twine, and a button finish it off.

Recipe: Stamps: Waltzingmouse's Asian Garden, Paper: Pure Luxury Kraft, Black, Sage Shadow, Fancy Pants dp

Ink: Versamark Onyx Black, Accessories: Twine, Sewing Machine, Button, Sizzix Leaf Die, Stampin Up! Flower Dies

I made this card with the same Fancy Pants papers and Verve's Up, Up, and Away set. I won this set a few weeks ago in a Mojo Monday challenge...Whoohoo!!! The balloons were all paper pieced with the Fancy Pants dp and popped up with foam dots. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and the button and twine are the finishing details.
