Dynamic Duos #40

When I saw the colour combo of turquoise and black (with a dessert option of clouds) over at Dynamic Duos, I knew I wanted to play along!



Spring is around the corner, although you'd never know it with this freezing cold weather!  Nevertheless, I decided to go with this theme.  I used 3 different quilling techniques on this card: fringing for the little flowers on the branches; spirals for the birds' nest, and grape rolls for the eggs (however you can't really see the quilling here because of the glitter used).  The tree branch was designed free-hand and cut out. For the birds, I heat embossed, glittered, and cut them out.  I wasn't sure where to place the sentiment, and finally thought it would be a fun idea to have the birds offer it in the form of thought clouds, which, I just realized, is another fun interpretation of the dessert theme!

Paper:  Patterned paper: Kaiserkraft; browns and white: Recollections

Stamps:  Verve 'Making a Statement'
