Happy Together


We got another 4" of snow here last night.  Everything is so white and clean.  It's beautiful to see ... from inside, looking out the window, in my fuzzy robe, with a cup of hot chocolate in my hands - you get the picture.  But going out in it?  Ick!

I've been waiting to use this new set - Happy Together!  I got it FREE through Stampin' UP's Sale-A-Bration event.  This week's Stamping 411 sketch was the perfect solution.  Thanks ladies!

I just love these little quails.  To me it's retro and makes me recall an old favorite ... The Partridge Family!  I stamped momma and her chicks in Chocolate Chip ink on Whisper White and punched them out with Circle Punches (1" and 1 1/4").  Momma assumes her rightful place on top of a Sage Shadow circle (1 3/8") and a Chocolate Chip Scallop Circle where everyone can see.  The chicks are playing in the flowers created from our Pretties Kit and Felt Flower Fusion.  Of course a little gem in the middle adds a bit of sparkle.





 
The greeting looks like a pennant and is raised in the middle with glue dots on each end.  The Chocolate Chip Double Stitch ribbon helps me keep to the sketch!  This little guy is tucked inside.  I hope he finds his way home!  One more day for your chance to win my BLOG CANDY ... see post below!

  3. Great combination of colors - may have to try something with it. Of course the DSP works perfectly. The quail are adorable. Nice job putting it all together in a great card.
