Dozens of stunning card fronts, pre-designed layouts, borders, sentiments and artwork are the perfect remedy for mid-winter doldrums. Six hand-drawn stamp sets feature blossom laden branches, nesting birds, garden scenes and an elegant collage. Two sets of dies coordinate with papers and stamps allowing you to add realistic blossoms, branches and birds to your artwork. Take a well-deserved break from the bleak landscape of winter and escape to a colorful springtime garden where birds chirp, flowers bloom, and soft breezes lift your spirit and inspire your creativity!

Take a 7" x 8 3/4" piece of chipboard & cut a 5" x 6 3/4" piece out of it leaving a 1" border on all sides. Take a sheet of 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" white cardstock & score at 1/2", 1 1/4", 6 1/4" & 7". Rotate the cardstock 90 degrees & score at 1/2", 1 1/4", 8" & 8 3/4". Fold the edges & ink them with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. Assemble the shadow box & stick the 1/2" border to the chipboard frame that we created. Cut a piece of blank frames from the Birds and Blooms Paper Collection & adhere inside the shadow box. Matte the border of the frame with paper from the same paper pad & ink the outer edges with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink.
Take white cardstock, cut a frame using the 2 largest dies from Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments Die & ink with Worn Lipstick Distress ink. Take a same size of watercolor cardstock & stamp the birdhouse stamp from Home Sweet Home PreCut Set with Black Archival Ink. Color in the image with various distress inks. Adhere it to the shadow box center & adhere the spell binders frame on top as shown.
Stamp the branches, leaves & blooms from Birds & Blooms PreCut Set, Leafy Branch PreCut Set, Fluffy Birdies PreCut Set using Walnut Stain, Forest Moss & Worn Lipstick Distress Inks respectively. Cut them out with Birds & Blooms Die & Leafy Branch Die. Ink the branches with Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs & Walnut Stain Distress Inks & stick them on the top left corner of the shadow box frame. Ink the leaves with Crushed Olive & Forest Moss Distress Inks & shape them. Ink the flowers with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink, shape them & add a yellow pollen to the center. Arrange the leaves & flowers around the bird house & the branches. Add some pearls & rhinestones to embellish the shadow box. Add tiny drops of black Viva Decor Pearl Pens to the bird's eyes.
