NEW HOME STAMPED CARD


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.

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.

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.
