Authentic Uncaged Bird

Quite the title..no? Well those are what I thought my two creations combined would be so there ya have it! LOL!

Onto my creations, which you may have seen in the hop (did you hop along with us? No, well please do as there are so many amazing creations you don't want to miss! You can find the details- HERE!)

I am showing one of the new Susana Loves Stamps-Resilient Woman today and several of the new Elements that are being released. I love that everything mixes and goes together however YOU decide to make it!  

I stamped Resilient Woman in Jet Black Archival ink and then stamped the word Authentic from the Authentic Set also in Jet Black Archival ink. On a sheet of vellum I stamped Blank Canvas Wings also in Jet Black Archival ink and then cut them out. 

Next I sprayed Dylusions Ink Spray in Lemon Zest and Bubblegum Pink onto the sheet with the words and Resilient Woman. I must say I really, really liked the Dylusions Ink Sprays and will be getting more and using them more often!! I doodled in one of the Authentic words with my copic multi-liner .03 so it would stand out.

I attached the wings and finished the card and I must say that I really LOVE how it turned out! So fun!  

We all know Susana loves dies so it’s so exciting to announce that we are releasing the first Dies by SCACD!!! How totally awesome is that!! And I just know you’ll love them all! 

I am presenting the Uncaged Bird Die, which I think is just so beautiful! So many details and the design is just gorgeous! 

For this card I used the Uncaged Bird Die and cut it out 4 times, 1 for each color and then I just cut the shapes I wanted out~ green for the vines/leaves, yellow for the bird and pink for the butterflies and brown for the base/birdcage. It was very easy to do and I think the end result is so pretty!!

I also wanted a bit of texture so I used some embossing folders with some of the elements~ these are the ones I used~ Craft Concepts Brocade on the birdcage and bird and Craft Concepts Secret Garden on the leaves/vines. The butterflies needed to sparkle so they have stickles on them! I also thought that the leaves needed a little something so I added a touch of Luminarte Primary Elements Mica powder in Kiwi mixed with multi-medium gloss. The bird has touches of Luminarte Silks in Honey Amber on it as well.

You’ll also notice the corner die, you guessed it, another Dies By SCACD!! I am just so thrilled, excited and jumping off the roof for these dies! This corner die is from the Classic Corners set. I added a touch of sparkle with Smooch Glitz in Frost to the corner dies.

I used the pretty Glitz Pretty In Pink papers and some Kaisercraft pearls  to tie the whole card together.
