love birds by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
 
Today I am sharing a card using one of the Ai Store Exclusives Sets. Here I used AiCS27- Love Birds. I tend to grab the fabulous main images in these sets and overlook the equally adorable smaller ones so this time I wanted to focus on the littles!
 

With Valentine's Day this month, I thought I would go with the "love" theme while it's still on our minds...February is almost over! This card would be great for an anniversary, though, any time of the year.
 
I embossed the black & white panels together with the "Love is patient, love is kind" verse from 1 Corinthians 13. Then I punched the heart out and adhered the panels to my card base. The birds were colored with Copics and popped up on the diecut leaves. How many of you still have bottles of paper flowers in your stash? Once in a while I still enjoy using them and they were perfect to use for an accent. I filled in the hearts and made a few small dots with a white pen.
 

Here's the inside of my card.
 
 
Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

This is the cutest card! I just love how you used one of the small stamps from a set with larger images as the feature for your card. It makes me want to look at my stamp sets different. I keep wanting to do that with the kittens from the Vanity pop-up set, but I forget to. Lol!
