A little Tweet Card & HAS Swap

This was my card for the June HAS Swap

And I found it extremely challanging

because
these were the guidelines.

-Must have minimum 8 layers stacked
-Do not use patterned paper
-Do not use any neutral cardstock (except for base)
-Do not use non paper embellishments such as ribbon; brads; twine or hemp
-Do not use stamp sets with “Border” or “Background” in their name
-Use at least 6 different stamped images
-Create paper embellishment that can count for at least and is 2 layers
-Card must be at least 4 ¼ x 5 ½ 

I also added a bit of extra stress to myself by making sure I used the June stamp of the month
now here is how I meet each of the guidelines

-Must have minimum 8 layers stacked --this was the one thing that really stressed me out.



  I decided to make a criss-cross card
  with a little bird sitting on a flower

-Do not use patterned paper --okay, I used multiple stamped images to create my own B & T paper
-Do not use any neutral cardstock (except for base) --used buttercup, creme brulee & sweet leaf
-Do not use non paper embellishments such as ribbon; brads; twine or hemp --as you can see--I used  only paper
-Do not use stamp sets with “Border” or “Background” in their name--used the Stamp of the Month
-Use at least 6 different stamped images --I used a ton of stamped images --the bird, the flowers on the paper ribbon, the circles in background, the sentiment
-Create paper embellishment that can count for at least and is 2 layers--see the flower, bird & paper ribbon
-Card must be at least 4 ¼ x 5 ½ --card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

This was a lot of fun---challenging, but fun
