Just Add Critters

This week challenge #46 at Just Add Ink is just add.... 

Critters.

I needed to make a Birthday and a gift.

So I decided to used the Aviary Stamp Set from the Summer Mini Catalogue.

This is a great stamp set, 9 stamps in the set, 4 bird cages, 4 birds, 1 of these is an Owl and a stand available in wood and clear mount.

 

I have braided the ribbon, I found a braided reef on Andrea Lowcock Blog she has a link to the You Tube Video. I had to have a go at it straight away, click here to view video.

I decided to not make it into a reef, so I weaved the ends back through the ribbon to finish it.

 For the gift I have made a Mini Magazine Box with Note Cards.
This was one of the We Stamp for Lara Tutorials designed by Madonna Dunn, go visit here blog here.
 This is so cute. I have used Rose Red, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White Card Stock.

 I have used Island Oasis DSP also from Summer Mini.

It has a real topical feel to it, the colours are stunning, Tempting Turquise, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Rose Red and Old Olive. I love the stripes in this DSP.

In the tutorial the note cards were 2" square cards, I changed mine to 3" square cards.
