Nouveau Lovebirds (by Asha)

Good morning, friends! Are you having fun with your new stamps? Today I want to show you a couple of cards made with stamps from the Nouveau Lovebirds set. They are so versatile and that they can be funky or elegant ... the choice is yours!

My first card is a bright and bubbly good luck card featuring the stylised flowers from the Nouveau Lovebirds stamp set. Added bonus: quick and easy to make.

I started by heat embossing the images using white embossing powder. For the background I blended Distress Inks in yellows and greens with some reds for the floral buds. The greeting is from Words of Comfort and Cheer.

Here's a closer look at the card. Just to fill some of the space, I also heat embossed an image from the Texture Fragments set.

My second card is not so loud and boisterous. This elegant card features the lovebirds after which the stamp set is named (that's my guess!). The front of the card has a layer of vellum that allows you to barely see through to the top half of the inside.  I used one of the smaller stamps from the Nouveau Lovebirds to make the background. This card would make a lovely engagement, wedding or anniversary card. 

Here's a closer look at the image of the lovebirds. I coloured it with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and adhered it directly onto the vellum layer. You can just about see the background stamping on the bottom half of the card front.

You've seen two contracting styles using stamps from the Nouveau Lovebirds set .... and you have to agree they are anything but arty! These images are so versatile and lend themselves to any design style. The rest of the design team will be posting more inspirational work. Come back soon!
