Birds in Cloche Dome

 As I've mentioned before, when I sit down to play with a new set/bundle, I try to make at least 2 cards!  This is the other card, with the Classic Cloche Bundle that uses the birds in this set and a different shaker stuff inside. I love this layout that also uses the little trees!


Measurements:   

  • Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet, scraps
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 3" x 3 3/4", scrap
  • Mint Macaron: 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Soft Suede: scrap
To Make This Card:

    • Layer White piece onto folded Evening Evergreen card.
    • Cut "dome" from Mint Macaron piece to the left side as shown, leaving enough room for the dome "base". 
    • It is easiest to stamp sentiment now, before the dome is attached and the texture of the embossing folder is added.
    • Now, emboss Mint Macaron layer with with Winter Snow Embossing Folder.
    • Now, for the birds.  Lay the Mint piece in place over the white layer and draw a pencil line inside the dome area. Remove the layer. Then, you can either: 1) stamp "birds" inside the pencil marks. or 2) You can stamp the "birds" onto a piece of white, cut out with die, and adhere inside the pencil marks.
    • Again, the birds are a 3-step image.  You'll stamp the bird outline first, then the "branches", and then the "bird feathers".  And, voila!  A complete image!  I also added a few Rhinestones to the larger circle images.
    • Now, attach "dome" to  by Mint Macaron layer by removing covering on adhesive. 
    • Add small "pile" of sequins on top of "birds".
    • Add adhesive to back of Mint piece around outside edges, remove rest of covering on tape and carefully attach to card front, enclosing sequins under dome.
    • Cut White "snow bank" and several Evening Evergreen Trees.  Add to card front as shown.
    • Cut a dome "base" from Soft Suede.  Adhere under "dome".
    • Finish with bow of Evening Evergree Open Weave ribbon. and a few more scattered Rhinestones.
