Asian Artistry - Bird on Bamboo Branch

Good Morning,                                                                                                                    

I don't have new stamp sets so I am playing around with this Asian Artistry set.  It is a level two hostess.  I have had this set for a long time but this is my first time stamping this image.  And that is the reason I don't buy new stamp set.  How many stamp set can a person have? 

I tried to keep the same color scheme like my other two Asian Artistry cards so I embossed the bamboo with gold embossing powder and then color the bird in Real Red and clear embossed the bird.  I didn't like the red layer card stock.  I think it's too big.

(Note: See the ticket corner punch.  I used the half inch circle punch to make that.)

 

So I made another one, the same lay out.  Except, this time I took out the Real Red card stock.  Instead, I added the Real Red card stock at the bottom and added the ribbon only about one inch to the left.  I like this one better.

Here is the inside.

Have you notice all my cards have no sentiment?  I couldn't decide which sentiment to use so I just leave everything blank.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!
