Create With Stamping With Friends Creatively Simple 160

Feathered Friends Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

I thought I would change things up this week and use punch art on my bird. Isn’t he cute? All that’s needed is a circle punch, fold it over and there’s your bird!

I also used 2 of our Woven Golden Leaves, colored one with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker and glued them to the back of the body:
