Valentines are for the Birds

 Yep, me again!  

Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I pulled out some of my favorite Valentine critters.  This quirky bird is one of my favorites. 

 I was inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge.  

This sweet bird is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Valentine Critters Stamp Set.  He was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics, then fussy cut out.  

The panel down the left hand side is done with a stencil and ink, then spritzed with water using my Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer for a watercolor look.  There is a tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers that calls this technique Stencil Monoprint.  

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Gina K Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder.  I finished it off with a few enamel dots.  

I am also linking up to the Krafty Chicks Anything Goes Challenge

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a blessed week!
