The weekend is here! Our daughter is staying wedding planning will ensue.
Well today a new challenge starts on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge Blog and the new theme is Watch the Birdie. This is a good theme and it could include Christmas cards which I know I and many others are very keen to make at the moment. Christmas will be here before we know it.
I created the background for this card with Pixie powders on water colour card.
This is the House Martin stamp from Clarity stamps. The birds were stamped with Black Archival onto water colour card and then coloured with my black Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen. I used a brush and some water to draw out the colour. The birds were cut out by hand.
This is a Visible Image stamp just stamped in black straight on to the background.
I did enjoy making this card. Why not have a go at our challenge.
I would like to entet the House of Cards September Challenge and Challenge 43 at the Clarity Challenge blog and Challenge 28 at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog.
Enjoy your weekend.
Take care.

Oh my! Jackie, I looked at the birds and thought, "are those stickers?" or did she stamp those on acetate and color from behind? How did she do those birds on that pretty background? And I finally read, much to my admiration, that you have HAND CUT EACH BIRD! You are my cutting hero for sure! Wow! It's a wonderful card, and so much happiness in those dancing birds! Thanks for sharing how you made this fantastic creation! hugs, de
