Hello everyone....hope your weekend was wonderful...it went by way too fast!!! Tonight is my turn to host the TLC challenge on Splitcoast and my challenge to you is to use your smallest stamps to create a border for your image. You can also create a wreath, as long as it is a border around a image or sentiment. How easy is that!!!!!
I used the tiny flower and leaf stamps from the Hero Arts Sending Happiness set...the flowers were stamped with Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party and the leaves were stamped with Pear Pizzazz. The bird was made with a Stampin Up! die and Martha Stewart Punches were used for the nest. The Papertrey Ink sentiment and bow finish it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Hero Arts and Papertrey Ink
Paper: Hawaiian Shores, Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Kiwi Kiss, Always Artichoke
Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: PTI Ribbon, Martha Stewart Punches, Stampin Up! Bird Die, Black Pearl
Thanks for stopping by....be sure to check out my challenge...I would love to see what you make!!!

Terrific idea for a challenge. Love the bird's nest you created. Your choice of colors and border you created are perfect!
This is so pretty, love the use of the new colors and that tiny stamp as the border with the bird in the middle. Hmmm....what do I have to give this one a try, well off to look, thanks for the inspiration.
Joan, this is so sweet! That bird is darling!!! Great challenge l can't recall the last time I used itty bitty stamps! Sounds fun! Will see if I can squeeze some time in this evening to play!
So pretty and sweet. The bird appears to be sitting on a little nest. Love the way you used the small stamp for a "frame". Lovely card.

Love your challenge to use the stamps to make a border, I havent done that in a few years. You got a perfect colour match between the bird and the ribbon, exactly the same shade. Off for a browse at your other cards now. CoB
