Spring Birds - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone...

I hope you are all having a good day.

I have gone all experimental today with a fab and fun stamp set from Whimsy Stamps

Spring Birds Clear Stamp Set by Krista Heij-Barber

Let me explain the experimental bit!...

I wondered what would happen if I stamped onto a Distress Oxide background and coloured over it with pencils..?

I attempted this to avoid cutting an intricate mask - (fussy cutting is not my favourite thing)!

I was fairly happy with the result.  I discovered that the ethos is similar to colouring on Kraft card as I had to amend my colour choices to take account of the background not being white.

so - in all a worthwhile experiment and I have more to show you in the coming weeks with the same technique!

I cut a piece of white card with the 

Slimline Card Builder Die

and blended Distress Oxides in Tattered Rose, Dried Marigold and Scattered Straw in opposing corners was shown.

I stamped the sweet 

Spring Birds

in black ink and coloured them with Derwent Pro Colour Pencils.  (I'll add the colours I used at the end of this post for you)

I die cut a piece of gorgeous 

Calico 6 x 6 Paper

with the 

Happy Large Word Die

and fixed that to the centre of the card as shown.

Then I stamped the Birthday sentiment from the

You're My Favourite Clear Stamps Set 

onto a 

Quick Strips Die Cut

and fixed that below the Happy die cut.

Finally I aded some sequins similar to 

Snow Crystals and Sailor's Sky Sparkletz

Rosie Smooches Bernie - Stamping Bella

Hello friends, I hope you are having an okay day!

I also hope that you and those you love are managing to stay happy and healthy!

Today I am here to show you a card made with beautiful goodies from

Dies To Die For

Stamping Bella - Rosie Smooches Bernie

I had fun colouring this beautiful image!

I used Derwent Procolour Pencils and chose a much more delicate colour palette than I'm used to!  /-:

Bernie - Pink Madder, Crimson Lake, Felt Grey, Gun Metal, Deep Cadmium, Turquoise Green, 

Rosie - Salmon, Pink Madder, Crimson Lake, Light Blue, Sky Blue

I popped the image back into a circular die and blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide around the edges.

I added quite a lashing of glitter!  

You can never have too much if you're a unicorn - right! (;

The sentiment is from

Stamping Bella - Mail Chick

Finally I layered the image onto some die cut design papers with a pice of pink sparkly ribbon.
