CC169 And The First Ink On My Verve Visual Stamps

So, yesterday afternoon I got a fun package in the mail. It could have only been more fun if i didn't know it was coming! ;) I ordered four stamp sets from Verve Visual because I could resist no longer. It would have been five, but they were out of stock of the Petals & Stems set because I guess I was the last person that thought to order it.



Anyway, I wanted to paper piece the little birds in the stamp set Anniversary Birds as soon as I saw it and once I ordered it and it came, of course that's what I did. I think this is a sweet and simple card. You should definitely check out VV's stamps, they're AWESOME!!! Also, until June 23rd select stamps (like the one I used for this sentiment - Great Expectations is the name) are on SALE!!!! I'm going to be ordering some more.... :)

Lastly, I mentioned in the title of the post that this card was for today's Color Challenge on Splitcoast: CC169. The colors were Blue Bayou, Soft Sky and Real Red. Check it out!!!
