Hi, and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.
While out at the supermarket on Wednesday night I decided to pick up a craft magazine that I saw Christina Griffiths demo on UTube.
It had lots of bird stamps as your freebie item.
Couldn't wait to use them as my Granddaughter has just moved house, and I needed to make her a card.
This card is one when it's finished you do a Happy Dance at how it turned out.
Made most of it in the middle of night when my dreaded RLS was plaguing me.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
I started by blending DOI in Worn Lipstick, Cracked Pistachio, and Fossilized Amber on 3 of my base layer cards, and then spritzed them with water.
I then cut an aperture in my top layer, and stamped it all over with one of the stamps, and the DOI Worn Lipstick.
I then put the circle that came out of the aperture, and cut another aperture so I could use the edge left round the aperture.
Mounted it all on foam tape.
I then stamped my Bird House in Potting Soil archival, and the Blue Tits in Black Archival Ink.
Coloured them in with Derwent Water Colour Pencils.
Stamped some flowers, and coloured them in with DOI W/L.
The Birds, Bird House, and the Flowers were stamped onto snippets of card so I will be off to the snippets playground with this.
I finally added some ribbon green leaves, and stones to the eyes of the Birds.
Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

Stunning card Jenny, love the colours in your base layer card. A super image and it looks really great in the circle die, pretty background papers too.
Blast from the past with the RSL, I used to get that a lot but, fingers crossed haven't had it for quite some years now.
Have a lovely weekend.

A lovely idea to use the bird stamp set to make a new home card - very pretty.
This is precious Jenny - love how you have those birds in the aperture and the blended DOI backgrounds you have done. I love watching Christina's videos as well - Michelle x

Wow Jenny - what a fabulous card for your Grand daughter! Wonderful colours and the birds with their cosy house is so appropriate! And as always, inside and outside are so perfectly designed and made - I peak if I manage to just do the front of a card!

A lovely new home card! Thanks for joining us at Stamping Sensations.
This is lovely Jenny and what a joy to receive. It just yells out Spring to me, something I hope will be with us very soon as we have so many Blue Tits or there again they could be Great Tits just like those in the gardens.
Thanks so much for joining in our 'All things Bright and BEAUtiful' theme at Stamping Sensations challenge.
