Some Birdie's Thinking of You

It's late. My team just lost. And for the life of me I cannot remember which clear stamp set I used on this card. I think my brain is turning to mush. I want to say it's Impression Obsession . . .

One item of note: The ribbon is seam binding dyed to match with a Copic . . . B05. (Now that I remember - go figure.) Ok, so my memory loss appears to be selective. I may never buy ribbon again (yeh, right). But I'll no longer spend as long looking for matching ribbon as I do making the card. And a great tip shared with me by my friend Carol is to use the Tim Holtz craft sheet under the seam binding during the dyeing process and then the precious Copic ink isn't absorbed and can even be worked into the seam binding . . . no wasted ink! Awesome tip, Carol!

That's it for me! I appreciate your visit today, and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

Hugs,
Colleen
