More birds on a card today but very different from my previous one. Looking through some boxes of stamps I came across this one which - again - hasn't seen ink for quite a long time. Could this mean that I have too many stamps do you think??? Anyway I used some watercolour card and inks to make a background on which to stamp the birds. Once stamped the square was cut using a die with one slightly larger for a second toning layer. A scrap of card in a tone similar to the image was embossed to pop behind. Finally adding some patterned paper, a lace border and a sentiment.

I love this gorgeous card Val. I also know the answer to your question, but let me put it another way I know I have too many stamps and not enough time to use them not that I will admit that it questioned later by Hubby.

Lovely card Val!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Val. Love the vintage feel.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Val. I love your well co-ordinated colour palette which works so well with the stamp you have chosen. Too many stamps in your stash? I don't believe that is possible but just like Sue, I don't think my hubby would agree. Let us all keep it a secret eh? xx
ReplyDeleteHi Val

This collage stamp with the birds looks lovely and with the dry and heat embossed backgrounds looks great in the yellow and brown tones Val. x
