Mandy is our hostess this week and she's asked us to use products from our favourite companies! My Craft Spot is still a favourite of mine, so I used some jute from Kimberly. I am also quite partial to Your Next Stamp - a Canadian company! I used their fun Parrot-ise stamp set as a focal point for my card. And I recently discovered Studio Katia, another Canadian company, so used one of their dies to cut the coloured vellum for my embossed background.
My middle guy celebrates a birthday next week. He loves birds and has a few of his own - including a green-cheeked conure parrot, so I decided that this image would be perfect for his card!
Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have created - and to link up your own project using your favourite supplies!
Products used:
I also used orange jute string from My Craft Spot (retired), a basket weave embossing folder, and a postage die from unknown origins!
