I stock up on blank cards when I have a coupon so these started to coordinate with the chevron card base.

 

I stamped a textured card stock with the Love Bird Collage and Aquamarine Ink.

 

Then I die cut the lower corner using the Mini Medallion SweetCuts die. I backed the  negative  space after embossing it with Bahama Aqua powder. I applied Enamel Adhesive around the area with my fingertip before applying the powder.

 

I attached to the card blank and then embellished the openings. I used a stack of buttons for one and the medallion from the die back into the other.

 

Have a great week.

 

Happy Tuesday crafty friends! We're on our way to StampScrapArtTour's South Carolina show this week.
