Vermillion

Do you have a bird lover in the family or a person that loves to be outdoors or how about that person that is always tracking what animals are outside today?  Even a nearby nursing home has a bird cage for the residents to watch.  Nearly any person would like to receive this card. 

This Young Vermillion stamp retired at the end of May 2012 from Stampin' Up! but this little bird is on my list of stamps to use.  The current stamp set, Made For You, contains this simple happy birthday image.

I paired a retired, Stampin' Up! designer series paper with the current cardstocks soft suede, night of navy, bashful blue and whisper white.  Soft suede ink created the bird image while a night of navy ink refill applied with an Aqua Painter created the blue breast.  Night of navy also inked the happy birthday stamp.

Keep Stampin'
