Christmas Birds

When Penny Black produced the stamp Ode to Christmas I thought it was lovely and had to have it. However I've only used it a couple of times as I found it just very difficult to get a good image.


 
 But I decided to try again for the CAS Christmas Challenge that is asking for Christmas birds. I coloured the stamp with SU markers using my Misti. I'm still not very happy with it and suspect that it won't get used again.

"Birds"

I've decided that I need to step back from some of my design team work so this will be my last post as a member of the Make My Monday team. The theme is Critters ( birds insect, animals etc). I've been rummaging through some of my old stash and found a Joanna Sheen CD that I knew had lots of animals and birds on. The artist is Jayne Netley-Mayhew and there are some lovely images. I chose a rather nice bird one.

I used three of the images and mounted them onto coordinating coloured card. No sentiment as there wasn't really anywhere to put it, so it will be quite useful for a number of occasions.

Be sure to check out the challenge blog to see what other critters have been used.

Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge

Welcome to the March Watercolour Challenge at Happy Little Stampers. As always it is Anything Goes with an optional twist of Mist.

 

I used a stamp that was part of a freebie set with a recent magazine. I stamped the branch in Sepia and watercoloured with Distess Inks. I did the same with the sparrow but it looked dreadful, the markings didn't show and the brown was very orangey. So I stamped another bird in black, which looked much better, and fussy cut it out to perch on the branch. The mists were a couple of sprays, the green was Shimmerz and the pink was a Tattered Angels one.

Looking forward to seeing all your creations.

MMM - Birds

Oops! I thought I had scheduled this post to go live this morning but obviously not, and I didn't check yesterday as I usually would. I had rather a lot of family problems on my mind.

Anyway back to the card. Joan has chosen birds as the theme for the new challenge at Make My Monday.


I decided to use the SU set "Hey Chick" as it was waiting to see ink! I coloured the chicks with Spectrum Noir pencils after Stampin on Kraft card.

Do check out the other inspiration on the challenge blog.

Make My Monday - Birds

Good morning! It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and this week the theme is "Birds"

Although I have got other bird stamps I turned once again to my favourite Wetlands stamp. I masked off a rectangle and sponged it with Pool Party and Soft Sky ink. Then repeat stamped the small birds all the way across. I doodled a border around the inked rectangle and added the Thinking of you sentiment. A chocolate chip mat and this card is now on its way to the recipient. Hope he likes it.
