Birthday Birds


Hello Bloggers.  Today I want to share with you my Birthday Birds.  These birds are from Dark Room Door.  They were stamped in black and then colored with copic markers.  After that I distressed the edges with vintage photo distress ink.  Tiny black brads are used for the eyes.  I have heaps of these tiny brads 'cause they are so hard to find.  On the green panel I stamped one of Tim Holtz's new stamps called Mixed Media.
I love birds... I used to have a parakeet named Que.  He was fun, he used to walk up my legs, preen my hair and sit on my shoulder.  Some days I really miss him.
Well i hope you enjoy my card today.  Have a wonderful day!

Purple Eiffel Tower


Hello... Hope everything is well with everyone today.  The card above is my monochromatic Eiffel Tower.  I was in a purple mood.  The Eiffel Tower is a Darkroom Door stamp that I stamped in Dusty Concord ink on a cream panel.  It was paper distressed and then also distressed in Vintage Photo ink.  I then put it on a dk brown panel and tied with a ribbon.  The bottom layer is a Cuttlebug fleur de lis embossed panel of coredinations cardstock that was then sanded.  This was layered onto a dk brown panel to a cream card.  The edge of the card was distressed with Vintage Photo ink and the top layer was pop dotted.  There is a spray of gold Radient Rain on the Eiffel Tower but you can't see that very well.  But it does make it sparkle nice.
Well enjoy your day, and leave me a comment to let me know what you think.  It's always nice to get feedback.

Cranes - LIM using scraps

 


Hi everyone... above is link to the Less is More challenge of using your scraps.  This is my second entry.  Guess I have lots of scraps.  Hmmm don't we all?  The bird stamp is an Inkadinkado stamp that I already had stamped on this white scrap. I layered it onto another purple scrap.  Then i found this blueish/purple scrap that was already embossed and fit perfectly.  Let me know what you think and have a great day!

Birds - LIM using scraps




Hello... Above is the link to the "Less is More" challenge.  This week it's using your scraps.  My scraps are the "grass" that the birds are standing on.  The birds are from my new Dylusions stamps by Dyan Reaveley.  Dylusions are one of my favorite companies.  I colored them with the new Tim Holtz Distress markers.  The great thing about these markers is you can color a large stamp with multiple markers.  Then you "HUFF" on it and it comes out beautiful, not all dried out like with other markers.  I have to say the picture of the card did not come out as well as I had hoped.  It's a lot darker in person.  Well that's it for today... let me know what you think.  XX

Butterfly card

Hello all.  Today i have a butterfly card.  I do like the way this one came out though i have to say there is not much stamping involved.  The top layer is K&Company 3D butterflies, put on a cream panel stamped with Stampin' up French Script, put on a black panel. The bottom layer is TH Kraft Resist butterfly panel on a black panel on a white card.  Ribbon and gems are from my stash.  Let me know what you think.  Have a great day.
