Love birds - TSOT #640

 This card was made using the sketch challenge with TSOT #640.  I made a few alterations in the sketch using two die cut birds holding a heart as the focal image.



The base of this 5 by 5" square card is Sweet Sugarplum card stock (retired). It is matted with Basic White followed by Flight & Airy DSP. I love this paper as the soft colours of the birds and blooms are romantic.
The circle in the middle of the DSP was made using a 3 3/4" circle die.  I added a piece of Vellum cardstock (with polka dots) behind the circle.  
A strip of cardstock embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder was added across the lower end of the circle with dimensionals.
Two birds cut from the DSP were added to the right side of the embossed strip side by side, holding on to a red glitter die cut heart between then,  Three smaller hearts emerge from above the hearts.
A die cut word "love" was added to the center of the circle.

Supplies Used:
Papers:  Sweet Sugarplum, Basic White, Vellum, Flight & Airy DSP, Red Glimmer
Accessories:  Circle dies, Sweet heart dies, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Dimensionals.
