Sweet Bird

 Good Morning! 

I love all things birds.  Including this adorable new die set from Spellbinders,  Little Chickadee. 

 

I love all of the detail on him.  I paired Little Chickadee with the Hemstitch Circle Dies and some retired Spellbinders dies.   Sentiment is from the new Just Wanted to Say Stamp Set.

Happy Father's Day

Hello!

It is Father's Day and I hope you are all giving the special men in your life some extra special love today.  A Happy Father's Day to my Dad, the best of the best.  You really are pretty amazing.  

I love this Tim Holtz Stamp Set, Bird Crazy.  I stamped him with Versafine Black Ink onto mixed media paper and painted him very loosely with my much loved Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  

He was fussy cut out and then paired with a mixed media background I had in my stash.  I used my Gel Press Plate and a rubber brayer, along with some craft store acrylic paints to make the print.  

I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches~

Colors are from Sunday Stamps~ 

A few black sequins finish the card.  Sentiment is from a retired SSS stamp set. 

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Party Balloon Animal!

 Hello Friends!

It's been a while!  Between the end of the school year and going out of town for sick parents, there just has not been time to craft.  Plus, I have tons of house projects lined up for the summer.  Anyone else do this?? 

I finally snuck in some crafting this past weekend and played with Spellbinder's fabulous new birthday release!  The Birthday Celebration release has loads of stamps, dies, paper and embellies.  

I could not resist this adorable Balloon Party Animal.  I paired it with the Party Decor Dies (I just used the circles) and used a sentiment from the Birthday Unboxing Sentiments.  

The Balloon Animal is colored with Copics.  The card background was stenciled with some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass using a Stamplorations stencil.  A few gems finish off the card.  

I am linking this card up to the Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I used Die Cut, Embellishment, Bright colors.

I am also linking up to Addicted to Stamps and More, Make Your Mark.  Happy 10th birthday ATSM!

My color inspiration comes from The Paper Players! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!
