Wow, this is an interesting sketch for me. Makeesha is certainly challenging me, anyway, with this sketch! It's the Inkspirations Sketch #9 challenge,so make sure you check out my challenge teammates blogs to see their sample of the challenge and then head on over to Keesh's blog to see link your card up too! I don't generally do tags so I really had fun! I flipped the sketch to it's side so I could use the Cheep Talk stamp set, one of my recent favs.I had made this nest on one of my Artisan Award projects and I really really liked the idea so I did it again for this card. It's super easy to make, just a bunch of punching with the Large and Small Oval punches. I punched out three small ovals (keep the punched pieces), and then punched three large oval ones around the small oval punchouts, leaving me with several border pieces. Then, just arrange them with your stamped and cut-out bird and then use the small punched ovals as the background to cover any cardstock showing through the nest.
So, hope you like it and thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to make your Inkspirations card/project and link it up on Keesh's blog!
