A Tweet Card with CTMH Stella

I love the way this little bird turned out! I started off by rolling the edges of the bird stamp in Cocoa ink and then used a waterbrush to add the Lagoon and Olive inks to the main body.

Don't you just love the new color-ready Seam Binding?  10 yards of ribbon with beautiful hand that you can color in ANY of our 60 colors to match your project - LOVE IT!

Journal and Card Gift Set with CTMH "A Tweet" and Bliss

A very dear friend of mine had something sad happen and I wanted to give her a card to tell her I care and a journal so she can write her feelings down. I've found at times in my life that writing things down can be very theraputic. Speaking the words of sorrow can break your heart all over again but somehow writing them helps me heal.

I inked up our new seam binding with Gray Wool ink - it takes color beautifully and ties gorgeous bows!

This project is also for our Heart2Heart Challenge this week - to create a 3-D object.  To play along with the challenge, include CTMH products in your project and post your link to this week's challenge at:

New Journal with CTMH Veranda and A Tweet

I just love these new journals from CTMH!  They have a clear protective cover that you slip your artwork behind instead of adhering to a cardboard cover.  Not only does this protect what you've made but it also makes it easy to change out your cover if you'd like.  Its sized at 5x7" so it is perfect for a photo too!  What a great gift item these will make!  Wouldn't it be cute on your desk with a photo of the kids?  How about making it into an address book?  A running To Do list?  That's how mine will be used! 

This design was inspired by another CTMH consultant.

Materials Used:

Paper:  Veranda Level 2

Stamps:  A Tweet

Inks:  Cocoa, Creme Brulee

Other:  Bitty Sparkles, Chocolate Mini Medley (retired but the Copper Mini Medley would work great too!)
