Sorry I have been gone so long. I was redecorating and spring cleaning for the open house I had this past weekend. My house went on the market last Thursday. Open house went fairly well and all comments were good so I am happy. So if you know of a scrapper or stamper in the Central Mass area looking for a cool townhouse that's already set up with a very large scrap and stamp studio send em my way.
Now that the open house is over I have finally been able to get back into my studio. Look at the card I made tonight. I really like how it came out. I got the inspiration from a card I saw somewhere online about a month ago. I'm sorry I cant give credit since I look at so many cards on a regular basis.

For this card I used my CTMH Free Spirit Stamp set. First I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock that I got from work (which is almost as nice as Gina K's ultra smooth - but its free! LOL), then I cut the sentiment out with my CM circle cutters. I stamped and distressed with a dauber and CTMH Coco Ink. Then I stamped two birds and cut them out. I adhered the birds to a digital paper from Shabby Princess from the Sun Porch line. (I cropped and adjusted the paper and then printed it out on the white cardstock). I popped up the circle frame with the high pop dots and popped one of the birds with a shorter pop dot. The card base is SU's soft sky which seems to match perfectly with the patterned paper. The last thing I did was add a bit of SU's River Rock ribbon.
I hope you enjoy this card!
The circle sentiment is really cool! I'm always intrigued by the hybrid cards...I digital scrap but never print the images for use in other papercrafting. Love Shabby Princess and how you used her product here.

I really like your idea of the cut-out circle for the sentiment. Very cool. Best of luck selling your place!

Tina, this is adorable. If you remember where you got your inspiration, because I saw the same card somewhere and made one that is similar and really need to credit the proper person.
Glad the open house went well!
