Welcome back to another day of The Greetery June Release week! Today’s sets are spectacular and honestly I love them as much as I love the sets on every other day. I wouldn’t be able to tell you my favorites since each of them are unique and stunning individually! But one thing for sure is these cute, chubby birds are seriously adorable.
Ah, I really love these wrens every time I look at them! Okay, so here all the nitty gritty details. The images were stamped in the following colors:
- Wrens: Sand Dunes, Mocha, Espresso, Dark Chocolate
- Branches: Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo
- Flowers: Tumbled Glass, Broken China
- Leaves: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades
I stamped my branches first, die cut, and then stamped the flowers and leaves after. The birds were stamped first, then die cut. I kept the warm scene going by ink blending some soft clouds in the background with Tea Dye oxide ink and a cloud stencil.
Once I had my arrangement decided, I stamped the sentiment ‘sending caring thoughts’ from the Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You set. There’s just a peaceful feel to this scene that I thought was a perfect for a sympathy card.
The stems and birds were then added on with thin strips of foam tape that I cut from my normal 1/2″ in foam tape. I love dimension so to me it’s worth the effort! And where there’s flowers, I love to add some Nuvo drops to the center and here I used Buttermilk Nuvo Crystal Drops.
I’ll be back tomorrow! Meanwhile, be sure to stop by The Greetery blog and other fabulous designers below for more inspiration!

Absolutely gorgeous work using these new stamp sets. I am wanting all of the new release now. But money and room to store things is not abundant these days. So I will have to curb my spending. So there will be some tough decisions ahead of me when I order.

Beautiful stamp/die sets and beautiful card!! I love the way you filled up the space with light color and the subtle, warm background… awesome effect!
The soft look of this card is so pretty! I love how you stenciled the clouds with a pale brown ink instead of a blue; the cream color adds so much softness and light to the card. I never would have thought of doing the sky in such a color, but it’s a great technique, one I’ll have to remember.
You did a wonderful job with this set. Love it!
Gorgeous, touching card. the birds and the blooming branches are beautiful and the layout is wonderful.
