Today I'm going to share a card using the new "In The Parlor" Bundle:

The In the Parlor Bundle includes:

• Lovebirds Stamps & Dies
  
• Twilight Patterned Paper
  
• London Sequins

So I began with cutting a tag from the new "Twilight Patterned Papers" using the "Hearts n'Tags Die" set.  I backed it with a fussy cut black piece of cardstock.  I cut a similar rectangular panel from the same dark grey feather print for my card base.

To create my ombre background, I first applied Apricot, Ginger and Terracotta inks across my white cardstock.  I made sure to blend the seems between colors well and overlap them a bit.  Then I sprayed them with water to create a fun water dappled effect.  Then I placed the "Wavy Lines Stencil" over top of the whole thing and applied each color over it's layer to darken the areas of the stencil to show the pattern.    

For the final touch, I stamped and die cut the cute little birdcage and Lovebird from the "Lovebirds" stamp set and adhered them to the tag.   I colored all the little details of the images using Copic Markers.  I added a sentiment from the "Notes of Love Sentiment" stamp set and die cut it with it's corresponding "Notes of Love Dies".
