Love Is Tweet

This is a card I made for my nephew and his new fiancee to let them know how happy I am that they have gotten engaged. As luck would have it, and a fabulous coincidence, they got engaged on my wedding anniversary. I couldn't have been more thrilled.


For this card, I used the Love Birdies set from Doodle Pantry. I thought it would make a fabulous engagement card. Laurie has some great sentiments with this set, and I used Love is Tweet and placed it inside the piece of paper tacked to the birdhouse. I colored the entire image with Copic markers (leaves - G20, G24, G28; Vine, Roof, Step and Flower Basket - E37, E39; Birdhouse - E33, E35; Heart Outline Beaks and Flowers - Y02, Y06; Sentiment - E00; Bird 1 - BG02, BG11, BG13, BG15; Bird 2 - BG05, BG07, BG09). I found these adorable little diamond rings at Michaels, and placed one around the vine at the top of the roof. To finish the card off, I put crystal bling in the center of the flowers.

Pop on over to Doodle Pantry's store and get this School Bus set free with purchase from May 25-27 only.

    Beautiful sweet card with the two birds and all the details: the rings, the note tacked to the birdhouse, and the cute bouquet of flowers all blinged up. Your coloring is fabulous, per usual. I'll bet they are keeping this card for their Engagement/Wedding scrapbook. Sweet!
