Happy Saturday morning blog readers. I am so glad you stopped in today to visit!
Have you ever used “Watercolor Paper” for creating without water coloring? That is what I did for today’s card. I simply used the water color paper for a background layer. I love the slightly textured, raised areas of our water color paper. Take a look:
I started out with my card background cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ in Primrose Petals and folded in half. I added a piece of Watercolor Paper measuring 3 3/4″ x 5″.
Using my 1″ Square Punch, I punched a hole in a separate piece of Watercolor Paper. Using the “hole” in my paper, I centered the hole in my 1 1/4″ Square Punch and created my frame. Cut another square using the 1 3/8″ Square Punch.
Cut the bird’s body and wing using the Bird Punch and Primrose Petals Cardstock. Glue the bird’s body to the largest square. Add the frame square on top of the bird’s body using skinny cut up pieces of a Stampin’ Dimensional to make the frame raised. Glue the wing in place using a Stampin’ Dimensional. Add Pearl Jewels as the eye and to add bling to the wing. Glue completed square to your card about 1 1/4″ below the top and centered horizontally.

I love to use watercolor paper as a background! I love the weight of the paper the texture. Your card is so delicate and beautiful. I love those pearl embellishments.
Beautiful!! Very clever the way you made the frame and I like how the part of the bird is outside. love the pearl embelishments
Simple, yet elegant. Love the bird in the frame. Great idea.
